STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY:

Normal Distribution
WEEK 3 & 4
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
01 02
illustrate normal random variable construct a normal
and its properties curve

03 04
identifies regions under the normal find area under the
curve corresponding to different normal curve
standard normal curves
KURTOSIS
- A measure of the tailedness of a distribution.
SKEWNESS - a measurement of the distortion of
symmetrical distribution or asymmetry in a data set.

Positively – Skewed Symmetric Curve Negatively – Skewed


Karl Friedrich Gauss
(1777 – 1885)
- A German
Mathematician that
developed the concept
of normal curve.
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
- also called as Gaussian Distribution is
a type of probability distribution that is
symmetrically distributed with no 𝟐
skew.
𝟏 (𝒙−𝝁)
−
𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒆 𝟐𝝈𝟐
𝝈 𝟐𝝅
𝟏 (𝒙−𝝁)𝟐
− 𝟐
𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒆 𝟐𝝈
𝝈 𝟐𝝅
WHERE:
𝝁 = mean
𝝈 = standard deviation
𝝅 ≈ 3.14159
𝒆 ≈ 2.71828
Properties of Normal Distribution:
The graph of normal distribution is bell-shaped called
1
normal curve.
2 The mean, median and mode are equal.
There is one maximum point of a normal curve which
3
occurs at the mean thus, making it also unimodal.
4 The normal curve is asymptotic to the horizontal axis.
5 The total area under the curve is equal to one.
TAKE NOTE:
If 𝝁 = 𝟎 and 𝝈 = 𝟏, then the
normal distribution is a standard
normal distribution. However, 𝝁
is not always equal to 0 and the
𝝈 is not always equal to 1.
Areas Under the Normal Curve
the area under the curve
between two points tells
you the probability of
variables taking on a
range of values. The
total area under the
curve is 1 or 100%.
STANDARD SCORES
Also known as z-scores measures how many
standard deviation a given value (x) is above or
below the mean and is used to compare two
scores.
TAKE NOTE:
Positive z-score – score is above the mean
Negative z-score – score is below the mean
Z-scores is found by using the following formulae:
a. For Sample b. For Population

𝒙 = 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝝁 = 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛
