1
Using the Calculator for Normal Distributions
2
Standard Normal Go to 2 nd Distribution Find #2 – Normalcdf Key stroke is Normalcdf(Begin, end) If standardized, then mean & st. deviation do not have to be given.
3
Find P(1.1<z<1.89) Press: Normalcdf (1.1, 1.89) enter You should get 0.1063 Check By chart method: 0.9706 – 0.8643 = 0.1063
4
To represent infinity we use 1E99 (1X10^99) for positive infinity -1E99 (-1x10^99) for negative infinity Represent in notation with ∞
5
Find: P(z<2.07)
6
Find: P(z>0.12)
7
Try the following P(z < -1.23) P(-1.2<z<2.05) P(z>1.23)
8
Average age of a student is 20 with standard deviation of 2.1 years. What’s the probability that a student’s age is more than 23?
9
Finding a percentile…. Use Invnorm(%) to get the z-score
10
The mean score on a test is 70 with = 3. What’s the cutoff score for the 90 th percentile?
11
If the mean test score is 88 with standard deviation of 2, find the cutoff scores for the middle 40%.
12
So if the mean is 34 and you know that 78% scored less than 36, what’s the standard deviation?
13
If 28% scored less than 36 on a test, and 87% scored more than 34, what’s the mean and the standard deviation?
