Section 5.1 Objectives •
Interpret graphs of normal probability distributions • Find areas under the standard normal curve © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 4 of 105
5.
Properties of a
Normal Distribution Continuous random variable • Has an infinite number of possible values that can be represented by an interval on the number line. Continuous probability distribution • The probability distribution of a continuous random variable. Hours spent studying in a day 0 63 9 1512 18 2421 The time spent studying can be any number between 0 and 24. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 5 of 105
6.
Properties of Normal
Distributions Normal distribution • A continuous probability distribution for a random variable, x. • The most important continuous probability distribution in statistics. • The graph of a normal distribution is called the normal curve. x © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 6 of 105
7.
Properties of Normal
Distributions 1. The mean, median, and mode are equal. 2. The normal curve is bell-shaped and is symmetric about the mean. 3. The total area under the normal curve is equal to 1. 4. The normal curve approaches, but never touches, the x-axis as it extends farther and farther away from the mean. x Total area = 1 μ © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 7 of 105
8.
Properties of Normal
Distributions 5. Between μ – σ and μ + σ (in the center of the curve), the graph curves downward. The graph curves upward to the left of μ – σ and to the right of μ + σ. The points at which the curve changes from curving upward to curving downward are called the inflection points. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 8 of 105 μ – 3σ μ + σμ – σ μ μ + 2σ μ + 3σμ – 2σ
9.
Means and Standard
Deviations • A normal distribution can have any mean and any positive standard deviation. • The mean gives the location of the line of symmetry. • The standard deviation describes the spread of the data. μ = 3.5 σ = 1.5 μ = 3.5 σ = 0.7 μ = 1.5 σ = 0.7 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 9 of 105
10.
Example: Understanding Mean
and Standard Deviation 1. Which normal curve has the greater mean? Solution: Curve A has the greater mean (The line of symmetry of curve A occurs at x = 15. The line of symmetry of curve B occurs at x = 12.) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 10 of 105
11.
Example: Understanding Mean
and Standard Deviation 2. Which curve has the greater standard deviation? Solution: Curve B has the greater standard deviation (Curve B is more spread out than curve A.) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11 of 105
12.
Example: Interpreting Graphs The
scaled test scores for the New York State Grade 8 Mathematics Test are normally distributed. The normal curve shown below represents this distribution. What is the mean test score? Estimate the standard deviation. Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 12 of 105 Because a normal curve is symmetric about the mean, you can estimate that μ ≈ 675. Because the inflection points are one standard deviation from the mean, you can estimate that σ ≈ 35.
13.
The Standard Normal
Distribution Standard normal distribution • A normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. –3 1–2 –1 0 2 3 z Area = 1 z = Value − Mean Standard deviation = x − µ σ • Any x-value can be transformed into a z-score by using the formula © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 13 of 105
14.
The Standard Normal
Distribution • If each data value of a normally distributed random variable x is transformed into a z-score, the result will be the standard normal distribution. Normal Distribution xµ σ µ = 0 σ = 1 z Standard Normal Distribution z = x − µ σ • Use the Standard Normal Table to find the cumulative area under the standard normal curve. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 14 of 105
15.
Properties of the
Standard Normal Distribution 1. The cumulative area is close to 0 for z-scores close to z = –3.49. 2. The cumulative area increases as the z-scores increase. z = –3.49 Area is close to 0 z –3 1–2 –1 0 2 3 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 15 of 105
16.
z = 3.49 Area
is close to 1 Properties of the Standard Normal Distribution 3. The cumulative area for z = 0 is 0.5000. 4. The cumulative area is close to 1 for z-scores close to z = 3.49. Area is 0.5000 z = 0 z –3 1–2 –1 0 2 3 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 of 105
17.
Example: Using The
Standard Normal Table Find the cumulative area that corresponds to a z-score of 1.15. The area to the left of z = 1.15 is 0.8749. Move across the row to the column under 0.05 Solution: Find 1.1 in the left hand column. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 of 105
18.
Example: Using The
Standard Normal Table Find the cumulative area that corresponds to a z-score of –0.24. Solution: Find –0.2 in the left hand column. The area to the left of z = –0.24 is 0.4052. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 18 of 105 Move across the row to the column under 0.04
19.
Finding Areas Under
the Standard Normal Curve 1. Sketch the standard normal curve and shade the appropriate area under the curve. 2. Find the area by following the directions for each case shown. a. To find the area to the left of z, find the area that corresponds to z in the Standard Normal Table. 1. Use the table to find the area for the z-score 2. The area to the left of z = 1.23 is 0.8907 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 19 of 105
20.
Finding Areas Under
the Standard Normal Curve b. To find the area to the right of z, use the Standard Normal Table to find the area that corresponds to z. Then subtract the area from 1. 3. Subtract to find the area to the right of z = 1.23: 1 – 0.8907 = 0.1093. 1. Use the table to find the area for the z-score. 2. The area to the left of z = 1.23 is 0.8907. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 20 of 105
21.
Finding Areas Under
the Standard Normal Curve c. To find the area between two z-scores, find the area corresponding to each z-score in the Standard Normal Table. Then subtract the smaller area from the larger area. 4. Subtract to find the area of the region between the two z-scores: 0.8907 – 0.2266 = 0.6641.3. The area to the left of z = –0.75 is 0.2266. 2. The area to the left of z = 1.23 is 0.8907. 1. Use the table to find the area for the z-scores. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 21 of 105
22.
Example: Finding Area
Under the Standard Normal Curve Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z = –0.99. From the Standard Normal Table, the area is equal to 0.1611. –0.99 0 z 0.1611 Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 22 of 105
23.
Example: Finding Area
Under the Standard Normal Curve Find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of z = 1.06. From the Standard Normal Table, the area is equal to 0.1446. 1 – 0.8554 = 0.1446 1.060 z Solution: 0.8554 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 23 of 105
24.
Find the area
under the standard normal curve between z = –1.5 and z = 1.25. Example: Finding Area Under the Standard Normal Curve From the Standard Normal Table, the area is equal to 0.8276. 1.250 z –1.50 0.8944 0.0668 Solution: 0.8944 – 0.0668 = 0.8276 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Probability and Normal
Distributions • If a random variable x is normally distributed, you can find the probability that x will fall in a given interval by calculating the area under the normal curve for that interval. P(x < 600) = Area μ = 500 σ = 100 600μ = 500 x © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 28 of 105

(Source: Opinion Research Corporation) Solution: • Can use the normal approximation (see slide 91) μ = 64 (0.62) = 27.9 σ = 45⋅0.62⋅0.38 ≈ 3.26 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

• Apply the
continuity correction: Fewer than 20 (…17, 18, 19) corresponds to the continuous normal distribution interval x < 19.5. Solution: Approximating a Binomial Probability z = x − µ σ = 19.5− 27.9 3.26 ≈ −2.58 P(z < –2.58) = 0.0049 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Example: Approximating a
Binomial Probability A survey reports that 62% of Internet users use Windows® Internet Explorer® as their browser. You randomly select 150 Internet users and ask them whether they use Internet Explorer® as their browser. What is the probability that exactly 96 will say yes?

• Apply the
continuity correction: Rewrite the discrete probability P(x=96) as the continuous probability P(95.5 < x < 96.5). Solution: Approximating a Binomial Probability z1 = x − µ σ = 95.5− 93 5.94 ≈ 0.42 0.6628 z2 = x − µ σ = 96.5− 93 5.94 ≈ 0.59 0.59μ = 0 P(0.42 < z < 0.59) Standard Normal μ = 0 σ = 1 z 0.42 0.7224 P(0.42 < z < 0.59) = 0.7224 – 0.6628 = 0.0596 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
