Normal Distribution * Numerous continuous variables have distribution closely resemble the normal distribution. * The normal distribution can be used to approximate various discrete probability distribution.

CHARACTERISTICS OF NORMAL DISTRIBUTION * ‘Bell Shaped’ * Symmetrical * Mean, Median and Mode are Equal Location is determined by the mean, μ Spread is determined by the standard deviation, σ The random variable has an infinite theoretical range: +  to   Mean = Median = Mode X f(X) μ σ

By varying the parameters μ and σ, we obtain different normal distributions Many Normal Distributions

The Standard Normal Distribution  Any normal distribution (with any mean and standard deviation combination) can be transformed into the standard normal distribution (Z)  Need to transform X units into Z units using  The standardized normal distribution (Z) has a mean of, and a standard deviation of 1,  Z is denoted by  Thus, its density function becomes

Calculating Probabilities for a General Normal Random Variable * Mostly, the probabilities involved x, a normal random variable with mean, and standard deviation, * Then, you have to standardized the interval of interest, writing it in terms of z, the standard normal random variable. * Once this is done, the probability of interest is the area that you find using the standard normal probability distribution. * Normal probability distribution, * Need to transform x to z using

Suppose X is a normal distribution N(25,25). Find Solutions Example 1.33

Example 1.34 An assessment test is used to measure a person’s readiness for college. The mathematics scores in the test are scaled to have a normal distribution with mean 500 and standard deviation 100. i. What is the probability that the people taking the test will score below 350? ii. Remedial assistance will be given to students in the bottom 10%. What is the maximum score of this group of students?

Solution: i. ii.

Exercise Suppose X is a normal distribution, N(70,4). Find a) b) 2. Suppose the test scores of 600 students are normally distributed with a mean of 76 and standard deviation of 8. The number of scoring is from 70 to 82 is: Answer : 1. a) b) students

Normal Approximation of the Binomial Distribution  When the number of observations or trials n in a binomial experiment is relatively large, the normal probability distribution can be used to approximate binomial probabilities. A convenient rule is that such approximation is acceptable when

Continuous Correction Factor The continuous correction factor needs to be made when a continuous curve is being used to approximate discrete probability distributions. 0.5 is added or subtracted as a continuous correction factor according to the form of the probability statement as follows :

How do calculate Binomial Probabilities Using the Normal Approximation? * Find the necessary values of n and p. Calculate * Write the probability you need in terms of x. * Correct the value of x with appropriate continuous correction factor (ccf). * Convert the necessary x-values to z-values using * Use Standard Normal Table to calculate the approximate probability.

Example 1.35 In a certain country, 45% of registered voters are male. If 300 registered voters from that country are selected at random, find the probability that at least 155 are males. Solutions:

Suppose that 5% of the population over 70 years old has disease A. Suppose a random sample of 9600 people over 70 is taken. What is the probability that less than 500 of them have disease A? Answer: Exercise 1.14

Normal Approximation of the Poisson Distribution  When the mean of a Poisson distribution is relatively large, the normal probability distribution can be used to approximate Poisson probabilities. A convenient rule is that such approximation is acceptable when
