STATISTICS:DATA

MANAGEMENT
Section 1: The Normal Distribution

Section 2: Simple Linear Regression


Objectives:

1) use empirical rules to solve an application problem


2) use the normal distribution to solve an application problems involving probabilities
3) apply the central limit theorem in problem involving probability
4) determine the linear regression model
5) use linear regression to make predictions
The Normal Distribution and the Central
Limit Theorem
 Inferential statistics – uses sampling distribution to draw conclusions about a given
population based on the analysis of random samples.

 Statistics – consists of a body of methods for collecting and analyzing data.


 It is a methodology for interpreting and drawing conclusions from collected data.
Important Components for statistical research
study
 Design – the researcher must know the appropriate statistical methods to carry out a plan,
implement rules, and evaluate experiments properly.

 Description – the researcher must know how to guide readers in understanding the
methods of a research and in analyzing its results.

 Inference – the researcher must use the results of data analysis to make good predictions
and correct decisions.
The Normal Distribution

 The normal distribution is perhaps the most commonly used continuous probability
distribution in the entire field of statistics.
 It provides a good model for most continuous populations.
 It has a bell-shaped curve also known as the normal curve
Characteristics for Normal Distribution
 The distribution is bell-shaped.

 The mean, median, and mode are equal and are located at the center of the distribution.

 The normal distribution is unimodal

 The curve is symmetric about the mean

 The normal distribution is continuous

 The normal curve is asymptotic

 The total area under the normal distribution curve is 1.00 or 100%

 The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean 68%; within 2
standard deviation, about 95%; and with 3 standard deviation, about 99.7%.
Normal Distribution Curve
Standard Normal Distribution

 A normal distribution can be converted in to a standard normal distribution by obtaining


the z-value. A z-value is the signed distance between selected value, designated x, the
mean, µ divided by the standard deviation, σ
 It is also called the z scores.

 Standard normal value

x
z

Example:
Determine the area under the standard normal distribution curve
a. Between z = 0 and z = 1.85
b. Between z = 0 and z = -1.15
c. To the right of z = 1.15
d. To the left of z = -1.85
e. Between z = 0.75 and z = 1.85
f. Between z = -0.75 and z = -1.85
g. Between z = 1.15 and z = -1.85
h. To the left of z = 1.15
i. To the right of z = -1.15
j. To the right of z = 1.15 and to the left of z =-1.85
k. Find the z value such that the area under the standard normal distribution curve is between 0
and z value is 0.3962
Application
 The average Pag-ibig salary loan for RFS Pharmacy Inc. employees is P23,000. If the debt
is normally distributed with a standard deviation of P2,500, find the probability that the
employee owes less than P18,500.
 The average age of bank managers is 40 years. Assume the variable is normally
distributed. If the standard deviation is 5 years, find the probability that the age of a
randomly selected bank manager will be in the range between 35 and 46 years old.
