Normal Distribution Curve

Review of what we have talked about so far concerning normal distribution

Remember a normal distribution is a bell curve shape.

It is symmetric with respect to the mean or middle.

Multiple Choice

What type of distribution is pictured?

Right skewed

Left skewed

Random

Normal

Multiple Choice

Even though it is not exactly perfect, this is still considered a normal distribution. It just has to be mostly normal looking.

TRUE

FALSE

Mean

The mean is always at the center of the normal distribution curve. We use the Greek letter "μ" to denote this number. It is called mu, and you pronounce it "m-you"

Standard Deviation

We add and subtract standard deviations from the mean. We use the Greek letter "σ" to denote this number. It is called sigma, and you pronounce it just like it looks. In the graph to the right, two standard deviations below the average would be the number 25, and we would call this μ-2σ.

What is the standard deviation on the graph given? In other words, how is 18 turning into 20 and 20 turning into 22? What is that amount?

Type answer...

Multiple Choice

Algebra reminder: $\mu+\sigma=\mu+1\sigma$ . We need to know that one standard deviation above the average is $\mu+1\sigma$ , but we usually don't see the 1. Same things goes for $\mu-\sigma=\mu-1\sigma$ .

Got it, Ms. Davis!

I hate algebra, so I refuse to believe this nonsense.

Fill in the Blanks

What is $\mu+\sigma$ ? In other words, what is the number that is one standard deviation to the right of the mean of 35?

Type answer...

Fill in the Blanks

What is $\mu+2\sigma$ ?

Type answer...

Fill in the Blanks

What is $\mu-\sigma$ ?

Type answer...

Fill in the Blanks

What would $\mu-3\sigma$ be, even though it is not labeled on the graph?

Type answer...

Fill in the Blanks

What would $\mu+3\sigma$ be, even though it is not labeled on the graph?
