Learning Outcomes
Normal Distribution
Learning Outcomes:
1. Convert raw scores to z – scores.
2. Convert a normal distribution to a standard normal distribution.
3. Analyze and interpret the standard normal distribution.
Normal Distribution • Data can be "distributed" (spread out) in
(Gaussian different ways.
Distribution)
• Formula:
z – score
• Example: The scores of students in a Statistics test are found to be normally
distributed with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 5. Give the z-scores
of the following scores:
30 45 40

•Example 2: A student appeared
for two tests. He secured 80 in
the first and 75 in the second.
The mean and deviation for the
first were 70 and 15
respectively, while for the
second it was 64 and 12
respectively. What conclusion
can you make on comparing the
•Example 3: The mean
temperature of 60 airports was
recorded to be 65 degrees with
a standard deviation of 5
degrees. If an airport records a
temperature of 68 degrees what
percentage of temperatures lie
Finding the Area Under the Normal Curve
4. The probability that the employees owes less than P18,500 (z = -1.8) is obtain by
subtracting 0.4641 from 0.50, and that is, 0.0359 or 3.59%.
Application of Normal Distribution
Example 2: The average age of bank managers is 40 years. Assume that their
ages are 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.
Solution:
1. Find the z-value of 35 and 46
Application of Normal Distribution
Example 3: Fifty job applicants took an IQ test and their scores are normally
distributed with a mean of 100. How many applicants obtained a score
between 74 and 126 if the standard deviation of their scores is 20?
• Solution:
1. Find the z-score values of 74 and 126.
Continuation…
2. Find the areas:
Hence, the number of applicants who obtained a score between 74 and 126 is
0.8064 (50) = 40.32 40 applicants.
