This section describes three real-life examples that can be used to introduce the basic idea behind the normal distribution. These are the Galton Board, flipping coins, and driving in a city. A. The Galton Board The Galton Board (Figure 1), also known as a bean machine or quincunx, distributes marbles between vertical compartments.

When 6= 0, the distribution is said to be the \noncentral Student’s t," or simply the \noncentral t distribution." The central t distribution has a mean of 0 and a variance slightly larger than the standard normal distribution. The kurtosis is also slightly larger than 3. The central t distribution is symmetric, while the noncentral t is

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.

Estimation of the parameters: Maximum likelihood methods used. No closed form solutions, iterative methods have to be used.

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. ∼.

the normal distribution, however, is that it supplies a positive probability density to every value in the range (1 ;+1), although the actual probability of an extreme event will be very low. In many cases, it is desired to use the normal distribution to describe the random variation of a quantity that, for physical
