What must be done to a normal curve to make it into a standard normal distribution curve?
The mean must be 0 and the standard deviation must be 1. Use the formula: z = (x - mu)/sigma
Is normal distribution symmetrical?
Yes. By definition. A normal distribution has a bell-shaped density curve described by its mean and standard deviation. The density curve is symmetrical(i.e., an exact reflection of form on opposite sides of a dividing line), and centered about (divided by) its mean, with its spread (width) determined by its standard deviation. Additionally, the mean, median, and mode of the distribution are equal and located at the peak (i.e., height of the curve).
Is the mean and standard deviation used in the following descriptive statistics to determine the curve of a normal distribution?
It is impossible to answer the question because "the following" did not follow.
He area under the standard normal curve is?
The area under the standard normal curve is 1.
What percent of a normal population is within 2 standard deviations of the mean?
By the definition of standard deviation, 95.46% of the normal population will be within 2 SD of the mean. Explanation: The normal distribution of a population means it follows the "bell curve". The center of this bell curve is the population's mean value. One standard deviation defines two areas (on the left and right side of the central "mean" value) under the bell curve that each have 34.13% of the population. The next standard deviation adds two additional areas under the curve, each having 13.6% of the population. Adding the areas under the curves on both sides gives us (34.13% + 13.6%) x 2 = 95.46%
What is the mean and standard deviation for the standard normal curve?
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
What is the standard deviation of the stardard normal curve?
1
Is normal curve symmetrical about its standard deviation?
nop its not
What is the difference between a general normal curve and a standard normal curve?
A standard normal distribution has a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1. A normal distribution can have any real number as a mean and the standard deviation must be greater than zero.
What is the standard deviation of the normal IQ curve?
It is 15 points.
Mean of normal curve always standard deviation?
No, they are rarely the same.
Which normal distribution is also the standard normal curve?
The normal distribution would be a standard normal distribution if it had a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1.
Why don't all normal curves have the same standard deviation?
Because the standard deviation is one of the two parameters (the other being the mean) which define the Normal curve. The mean defines the location and the standard deviation defines its shape.
When the larger values of the standard deviation result in a normal curve that narrower and more peak?
Smaller
What must be done to a normal curve to make it into a standard normal distribution curve?
The mean must be 0 and the standard deviation must be 1. Use the formula: z = (x - mu)/sigma
How do you use the z-score to determine a normal curve?
If the Z-Score corresponds to the standard deviation, then the distribution is "normal", or Gaussian.
What are the two parameters that are necessary to determine probabilities for a particular normal distribution curve?
Mean and Standard Deviation
