What are the best statistics to use for data that is normally distributed?
The mean and standard deviation. If the data really are normally distributed, all other statistics are redundant.
What is mean by -3standard deviation in bmi?
BMI varies from person to person and one measure of this variability is the standard deviation. Assuming the BMI is approximately normally distributed, only around 0.135% of the people will have results that are -3 sd or lower.
Are all variables that are approximentaly normally distributed be transformed to standard normal variables?
Yes, to approximately standard normal.If the random variable X is approximately normal with mean m and standard deviation s, then(X - m)/sis approximately standard normal.
A food processor packages orange juice in small jars The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 10.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce Find the p?
A food processor packages orange juice in small jars. The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 10.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. Find the proportion of all jars packaged by this process that have weights that fall below 10.875 ounces.
What percentile does a score of 351.5 on MAT equate to?
The Miller Analogies Test scores have a mean of 400 and a standard deviation of 25, and are approximately normally distributed.z = ( 351.5 - 400 ) / 25 = -1.94That's about the 2.6 percentile.(Used wolframalpha.com with input Pr [x < -1.94] with x normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.)
What percentage of the normally distributed population lies within the plus or minus one standard deviation of the population mean?
68.2%
Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 10.2 Find which separates the bottom 81 percent from the top 19 percent?
(X-61)/10.2=.878 X = 69.95 approximately 70
Scores on an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 76 and a standard deviation of 10 In a group of 230 tests how many students score below 66?
There are approximately 16.4% of students who score below 66 on the exam.
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 298 grams and a standard deviation of 13 grams.If you pick one fruit at random, what is the probability that it will weigh between 262 grams and 269 grams?
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 760 grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams. If you pick one fruit at random, what is the probability that it will weigh between 722 grams and 746 grams-----A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 567 grams and a standard deviation of 25 grams.
If a particular batch of data is approximately normally distributed you would find that approximately?
d. All the above.
Why the value of a roll of two dice is normally distributed?
It is not! It is very approximately so and the key word there is approximately.
Can the variance of a normally distributed random variable be negative?
No. The variance of any distribution is the sum of the squares of the deviation from the mean. Since the square of the deviation is essentially the square of the absolute value of the deviation, that means the variance is always positive, be the distribution normal, poisson, or other.
