Exactly "what it says on the tin"! The distribution is nearly, but not quite, the standard normal, or Gaussiam distribution.

When you draw a sample from a normal distribution what can you conclude about the sample distribution?

The answer depends on how the sample is selected. If it is a simple random sample, of size n, then it is distributed approximately normally with the same mean as the population mean.The answer depends on how the sample is selected. If it is a simple random sample, of size n, then it is distributed approximately normally with the same mean as the population mean.The answer depends on how the sample is selected.

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.


How can you calculate z-score?

If a normally distributed random variable X has mean m and standard deviation s, then z = (X - m)/s


Why is the central limit theorem an important idea for dealing with a population not normally distributed?

According to the Central Limit Theorem, even if a variable has an underlying distribution which is not Normal, the means of random samples from the population will be normally distributed with the population mean as its mean.


When doing a t-test what does normal distributed in population mean?

It means that the random variable of interest is Normally distributed and so the t-distribution is an appropriate distribution for the test rather than just an approximation.
