Normal DistributionsSlide #3 Distribution Model A smooth representation of the distribution of ALL individuals in the POPULATION Quantitative Value Frequency

Normal DistributionsSlide #4 Distribution Model Useful for estimating the proportion of individuals within a particular range of values (e.g., X < -1) Quantitative Value Frequency

1.What is the generic center and dispersion of any normal distribution? 2.What is the exact center of a N(10,4)? 3.What is the exact dispersion of a N(10,4)? Normal DistributionsSlide #5

Normal DistributionsSlide #14 What Type Of Question? 1.What proportion of students will score between 70 and 90 on the next exam? 2.What is the test score such that the 15% of the students score higher? 3.What is the gas mileage that has 25% of the cars lower? 4.What proportion of cars get more than 20 mpg? 5.What are the two heights that contain the most common 50% of professor’s heights? Forward - Between Reverse – Right of Reverse – Left of Forward - Right of Reverse - Between

Suppose that the distribution of number of carpenter ants in a nest is N(1400,300). 1.What is an individual? 2.What is the variable? 3.What type of variable is that? 4.What is  ? 5.What is  ? 6.Draw the distribution with an appropriate axis scale and label. Normal DistributionsSlide #15

Determine what type of calculation is required. 1.What percentage of nests have more than 1900 ants? 2.What is the number of ants such that 15% of nests have more ants? 3.What is the number of ants such that 33% of nests have fewer ants? 4.What percentage of nests have between 700 and 1900 ants? 5.What percentage of nests have fewer than 300 ants? 6.What is the number of ants such that 5% of nests have more ants? 7.The most common 80% of number of ants in a nest are between what two values?
