Normal Probability Distribution

Normal Probability Distribution It is bell-shaped and has a single peak at the center of the distribution. It is symmetrical about the mean It is asymptotic: The curve gets closer and closer to the X-axis but never actually touches it. The location of a normal distribution is determined by the mean,, the dispersion or spread of the distribution is determined by the standard deviation,σ . The arithmetic mean, median, and mode are equal The total area under the curve is 1.00; half the area under the normal curve is to the right of this center point and the other half to the left of it Different Means and Standard Deviations Equal Means and Different Standard Deviations Different Means and Equal Standard Deviations Family of Distributions

The Standard Normal Probability Distribution The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. It is also called the z distribution. A z-value is the signed distance between a selected value, designated X, and the population mean , divided by the population standard deviation, σ. The formula is:

The Normal Distribution – Example The weekly incomes of shift foremen in the glass industry follow the normal probability distribution with a mean of $1,000 and a standard deviation of $100. What is the z value for the income, let’s call it X, of a foreman who earns $1,100 per week? For a foreman who earns $900 per week?

The Empirical Rule - Example As part of its quality assurance program, the Autolite Battery Company conducts tests on battery life. For a particular D-cell alkaline battery, the mean life is 19 hours. The useful life of the battery follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Answer the following questions. About 68 percent of the batteries failed between what two values? About 95 percent of the batteries failed between what two values? Virtually all of the batteries failed between what two values?

Normal Distribution – Finding Probabilities EXAMPLE The mean weekly income of a shift foreman in the glass industry is normally distributed with a mean of $1,000 and a standard deviation of $100. What is the likelihood of selecting a foreman whose weekly income is between $1,000 and $1,100? Required probability is 0.3413

Normal Distribution – Finding Probabilities (Example 2) Refer to the information regarding the weekly income of shift foremen in the glass industry. The distribution of weekly incomes follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of $1,000 and a standard deviation of $100. What is the probability of selecting a shift foreman in the glass industry whose income is: Between $790 and $1,000? What is the probability of selecting a shift foreman in the glass industry whose income is: Between $840 and $1,200
