    1) Normal distributions are symmetric and bell-shaped around the mean. Data points near the mean are more frequent than those farther from the mean. 2) Key properties of a normal distribution include the mean, median, and mode all being equal and the curve approaching but never touching the x-axis as it extends away from the mean. 3) A normal distribution can have any mean and positive standard deviation, with the mean indicating the line of symmetry and the standard deviation describing the spread of the data.

    Normal Distributions
    Normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian
    distribution, is a probability distribution that is symmetric
    about the mean, showing that data near the mean are
    more frequent in occurrence than data far from the
    mean. In graph form, normal distribution will appear as a
    bell curve.

    Introduction to Normal
    Distributions and the
    Standard Distribution
    Properties of Normal Distributions
    A continuous random variable has an infinite number of possible
    values that can be represented by an interval on the number line.

    The time spent studying


    can be any number
    between 0 and 24.

    The probability distribution of a continuous random variable is


    called a continuous probability distribution.

    Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 4


    Properties of Normal Distributions
    The most important probability distribution in statistics is the
    normal distribution.

    Normal curve

    A normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution for


    a random variable, x. The graph of a normal distribution is called
    the normal curve.

    Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 5


    Properties of Normal Distributions
    Properties of a Normal Distribution
    1. The mean, median, and mode are equal.
    2. The normal curve is bell-shaped and symmetric about the mean.
    3. The total area under the curve is equal to one.
    4. The normal curve approaches, but never touches the x-axis as it
    extends farther and farther away from the mean.
    5. Between μ  σ and μ + σ (in the center of the curve), the graph
    curves downward. The graph curves upward to the left of μ  σ
    and to the right of μ + σ. The points at which the curve changes
    from curving upward to curving downward are called the
    inflection points.

    If x is a continuous random variable having a normal distribution


    with mean μ and standard deviation σ, you can graph a normal
    curve with the equation

    Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 7


    Means and Standard Deviations
    A normal distribution can have any mean and any
    positive standard deviation.
    Inflection
    The mean gives the points
    Inflection location of the line
    points of symmetry.

    Mean: μ = 3.5 Mean: μ = 6


    Standard deviation: Standard deviation:
    σ  1.3 σ  1.9

    The standard deviation describes the spread of the data.

    Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 8


    Means and Standard Deviations
    Example:
    1. Which curve has the greater mean?
    2. Which curve has the greater standard deviation?

    B
    A

    x
    1 3 5 7 9 11 13

    The line of symmetry of curve A occurs at x = 5. The line of symmetry of curve


    B occurs at x = 9. Curve B has the greater mean.

    Curve B is more spread out than curve A, so curve B has the greater standard
    deviation.
