distribution of the sample mean, based on samples of size 100: As the sample size is large (n=100) the Central Limit Theorem applies and the sampling distribution should be normal: hence a histogram based on the sample means of 3,000 random samples should be approximately normal : note it is not the number of samples that determines whether

3.1 Finding areas under the standard normal curve. The standard normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation and variance of 1. So if Z is a standard normal variable, μZ = 0, σZ = 1, σ2. Z = 1. The notation for this is Z N(0, 1). Again, we distinguish between the variable, Z (capital Z), and its. ∼.

De nition: The normal distribution has the density f(x) = 1 p 2ˇ e x2=2: 23.4. It is the distribution which appears most often if data can take both positive and negative values. One reason why it appears so often is that if one observes dif-ferent unrelated quantities then their sum, suitably normalized is close to the normal distribution.

The occurrence of normal distribution in practical problems can be loosely classified into four categories: 1. Exactly normal distributions; 2. Approximately normal laws, for example when such approximation is justified by the central limit theorem; and 3. Distributions modeled as normal – the normal distribution being the

The normal distribution is symmetric. For any continuous random variable, the probability can be found by looking at the area under the curve of the pdf. Let us combine these two facts in an image. Consider the random variable X N (400, 400) in Figure 4. As a reminder, we are inter-ested in P(X 375).

Example. Suppose SAT scores roughly follows a normal distribution in the U.S. population of college-bound students (with range restricted to 200-800), and the average math SAT is 500 with a standard deviation of 50, then: 68% of students will have scores between 450 and 550. 95% will be between 400 and 600. 99.7% will be between 350 and 650.

Step 5. From the 0.5th and 99.5th percentiles of the standard normal distribution, solve for the corresponding values of the normal distribution that has mean=100 and sd=14. Tip - Notice that the 0.5th and 99.5th percentiles are -2.57 and +2.57, symmetric about zero. So, really, we only needed to solve for one of them.
