Once again, my blog site is www.mathwithdillon.weebly.com
You should visit this site to get notes and assignments, check HW and WS, and check the calendar for assessment dates.
Come see me if you don’t understand a concept.
You should bring your worked homework problems so I can see what your mistake is.
You have to attempt homework problems before I can help you. I don’t know how to help you unless I see some work from you.

Accel Math IIIUnit #1: Data Analysis
Lesson #8: Normal Distribution
EQ: What are the characteristics of a normal distribution and how is probability calculated using this type of distribution?
Recall: Three Types of Distributions
Binomial Normal Geometric
Normal Distributions --- created from continuous random variables
Characteristics of a Normal Distribution:1. Symmetric, Bell-Shaped Curve and Uni-modal.
2. Mean, Median, Mode are equal and located at the middle of the distribution. Symmetric about the mean. Not skew.
3. The curve is continuous, no gaps or holes. The curve never touches or crosses the x-axis.4.The total area under the curve equals
1.Recall: Empirical Rule
Normal Distribution --- each has its own mean and standard deviation.
What are µ and σ in this normal distribution ?50 10
Standard Normal Distribution --- mean is always 0 and standard deviation is always 1
STANDARDIZE
z-score --- the number of standard deviations above or below the mean
z = observed – mean or z = X - µ standard deviation σ
Correlates to areaunder the curve.
Ex. In a study of bone brittleness, the ages of people at the onset of osteoporosis followed a normal distribution with a mean age of 71 and a standard deviation of 2.8 years. What z-score would an age of 65 represent in this study?

Ex. Find the area under the curve between z = 1.60 and z = 3.3.

Normal Curve#1 - 11
What about finding a z-score when given area under the curve?Ex. Determine the z-score that would
give this area under the curve.
Ex. Determine the z-score that would give this area under the curve.
Ex. Determine the z-score that would give this area under the curve.

Quiz 2 --- 30 minutes
Using the Graphing Calculator with Normal Distributions
Command and Arguments: I. When given a z-score, you are
looking for area under the curve.
normalcdf(low bound, high bound)
Ex. Find the area under the curve to the left of z = 1.35.
Ex Find the area under the curve between z = -1.36 and z = 0.42.
Assignment: Example Handout: Area Under
the Standard Normal Curve #1 – 11
Go back and rework these using the calculator function.
II. When given area, you’re looking for a z-score.
Use invnorm function under distributions.invnorm(% to the left)
***Remember invnorm and normcdf are calculator jargon
Do not write these functions on assessments as “work”.Assignment: Redo WS Calculating Area
