What proportion of a normal distribution is located between z equals -0.50 and z equals plus 0.50?

0.3829 approx.


When can a binomial situation be approxiamted with a normal distribution?

The binomial distribution can be approximated with a normal distribution when np > 5 and np(1-p) > 5 where p is the proportion (probability) of success of an event and n is the total number of independent trials.

77.45%


Define a normal random variable?

I have included two links. A normal random variable is a random variable whose associated probability distribution is the normal probability distribution. By definition, a random variable has to have an associated distribution. The normal distribution (probability density function) is defined by a mathematical formula with a mean and standard deviation as parameters. The normal distribution is ofter called a bell-shaped curve, because of its symmetrical shape. It is not the only symmetrical distribution. The two links should provide more information beyond this simple definition.


What percentage of scores fall below 7 if the nmean is 8 and standard deviation 2?

Assuming a normal distribution, the proportion falling between the mean (of 8) and 7 with standard deviation 2 is: z = (7 - 8) / 2 = -0.5 → 0.1915 (from normal distribution tables) → less than 7 is 0.5 - 0.1915 = 0.3085 = 0.3085 x 100 % = 30.85 % (Note: the 0.5 in the second sum is because half (0.5) of a normal distribution is less than the mean, not because 7 is half a standard deviation away from the mean, and the tables give the proportion of the normal distribution between the mean and the number of standard deviations from the mean.)
