What is normal distribution in statstics?
The normal distribution is a statistical distribution. Many naturally occurring variables follow the normal distribution: examples are peoples' height, weights. The sum of independent, identically distributed variables - whatever their own underlying distribution - will tend towards the normal distribution as the number in the sum increases. This means that the mean of repeated measures of ANY variable will approach the normal distribution. Furthermore, some distributions that are not normal to start with, can be converted to normality through simple transformations of the variable. These characteristics make the normal distribution very important in statistics. See attached link for more.
What is the characteristic of a normal distribution?
The Normal (or Gaussian) distribution is a symmetrical probability function whose shape is determined by two values: the mean and variance (or standard deviation).According to the law of large numbers, if you take repeated independent samples from any distribution, the means of those samples are distributed approximately normally. The greater the size of each sample, or the greater the number of samples, the more closely the results will match the normal distribution. This characteristic makes the Normal distribution central to statistical theory.
What is the difference of a normal distribution and a stardard normal distribution?
The standard normal distribution is a special case of the normal distribution. The standard normal has mean 0 and variance 1.
Is the normal distribution infinite?
The domain of the normal distribution is infinite.
What does a negative kurtosis mean?
It means distribution is flater then [than] a normal distribution and if kurtosis is positive[,] then it means that distribution is sharper then [than] a normal distribution. Normal (bell shape) distribution has zero kurtosis.
What does the mean have to do with a normal distribution?
Almost all statistical distribution have a mean. It is the expected value of the random variable which is distributed according to that function.
What is the formula to convert normal distribution to the standard normal distribution?
If a variable X, is distributed Normally with mean m and standard deviation s thenZ = (X - m)/s has a standard normal distribution.
The probability density of the standardized normal distribution is?
The probability density of the standardized normal distribution is described in the related link. It is the same as a normal distribution, but substituted into the equation is mean = 0 and sigma = 1 which simplifies the formula.
What are the uses of Normal Distribution?
The normal distribution is very important in statistical analysis. A considerable amount of data follows a normal distribution: the weight and length of items mass-produced usually follow a normal distribution ; and if average demand for a product is high, then demand usually follows a normal distribution. It is possible to show that when the sample is large, the sample mean follows a normal distribution. This result is important in the construction of confidence intervals and in significance testing. In quality control procedures for a mean chart, the construction of the warning and action lines is based on the normal distribution.
What are the advantages of using the standard normal distribution over the normal distribution?
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 is a comparison distribution?
A comparison distribution type is what we use to make inferences from the data of our study or experiment. The researcher uses the comparison distribution to determine how well the distribution can be approximated by the normal distribution. Hypothesis testing is very important for every statistical test.

What is normal distribution?
It is a symmetric bell-shaped distribution which can be used to represent a very large number things from every-day life. It has some very useful statistical properties.
The statistical distribution used for testing the difference between two population variances is the BLANK distribution. The choices are a t b standardized normal c binomial d F?
a
What is the significance of the constant 1/sqrt(2pi) in the formula for the standard normal distribution?
The constant 1/sqrt(2pi) in the formula for the standard normal distribution is significant because it normalizes the distribution so that the total area under the curve equals 1. This ensures that the probabilities calculated from the distribution are accurate and meaningful.
What does probalility distribution mean?
In parametric statistical analysis we always have some probability distributions such as Normal, Binomial, Poisson uniform etc.In statistics we always work with data. So Probability distribution means "from which distribution the data are?
What is the nearly normal condition?
The nearly normal condition refers to the assumption in statistical analysis that the sampling distribution of a statistic is nearly normal if the sample size is large enough, typically greater than 30. This condition allows for the use of methods that assume normality, even if the population distribution is not exactly normal.
