There is no simple formula to calculate probabilities for the normal distribution. Those for the standard normal have been calculated by numerical methods and then tabulated. As a result, probabilities for the standard normal can be looked up easily.

What are the advantages of using standard normal distribution over the normal distribution?

The standard normal distribution is tabulated. The critical values for various outcomes can therefore be worked out easily from tables. The normal distribution is extremely difficult to integrate: most people, even with a university degree in mathematics will be unable to do so. So working out the probability of events from the normal distribution is near enough impossible.


How do you solve a standard normal distribution?

You do not solve a standard normal distribution. It is not a question nor an equation or inequality to be solved. You can answer questions using the standard normal distribution but what you do depends on the question and on what information is given.


What are the Advantages and disadvantages of normal distribution?

One advantage of using normal distribution is that there are less errors. A disadvantage of normal distribution is that it can not be interpreted to terms of probabilities.

Do some normal probability distributions have different means and different standard deviations?

Yes. Normal (or Gaussian) distribution are parametric distributions and they are defined by two parameters: the mean and the variance (square of standard deviation). Each pair of these parameters gives rise to a different normal distribution. However, they can all be "re-parametrised" to the standard normal distribution using z-transformations. The standard normal distribution has mean 0 and variance 1.

How the normal distribution could be transformed to a standard normal distribution?

You may transform a normal distribution curve, with, f(x), distributed normally, with mean mu, and standard deviation s, into a standard normal distribution f(z), with mu=0 and s=1, using this transform: z = (x- mu)/s

When the normal curve is plotted according to standard deviation units each having a value of 1.00 what is it called?

When the normal curve is plotted using standard deviation units, each with a value of 1.00, it is referred to as the standard normal distribution. In this distribution, the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1, allowing for easy comparison of different data sets by transforming them into z-scores. The standard normal distribution is often represented by the symbol Z.


When the population standard deviation is not know the sampling distribution is a?

When the population standard deviation is not known, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is typically modeled using the t-distribution instead of the normal distribution. This is because the t-distribution accounts for the additional uncertainty introduced by estimating the population standard deviation from the sample. As the sample size increases, the t-distribution approaches the normal distribution, making it more appropriate for larger samples.


What is the probability of P z-0.35 using the standard normal distribution?

p(Z<0.35) - 0.5 = 0.6900


What does the normal allow you to measure?

The normal distribution allows you to measure the distribution of a set of data points. It helps to determine the average (mean) of the data and how spread out the data is (standard deviation). By using the normal distribution, you can make predictions about the likelihood of certain values occurring within the data set.


What is standard deviation stretch?

The standard deviation stretch is used to stretch the output values using a normal distribution. The result of this stretch is similar to what is seen by the human eye.
