How would you characterize the distribution of scores in a normal distribution?

They are said to be Normally distributed.


Scores on an examination are assumed to be normally?

...normally distributed.

Normally distributed.


How do you find normal distribution of z-scores?

z-scores are distributed according to the standard normal distribution. That is, with the parameters: mean 0 and variance 1.


If a normally distributed group of test scores have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 12 find the percentage of scores that will fall below 50?

X = 50 => Z = (50 - 70)/12 = -20/12 = -1.33 So prob(X < 50) = Prob(Z < -1.33...) = 0.091

What are some examples of normally distributed data in the real world?

The heights or masses of adult males, or of adult females. IQ scores (whatever they measure).


In the population SAT-Math scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and standard deviation of 100?

The answer depends on what SAT tests. In the UK the mean is 100 and the SD approx 15 - the scores are truncated at 100 +/- 44.


Why is it that only one normal distribution table is needed to find any probability under the normal curve?

Anything that is normally distributed has certain properties. One is that the bulk of scores will be near the mean and the farther from the mean you are, the less common the score. Specifically, about 68% of anything that is normally distributed falls within one standard deviation of the mean. That means that 68% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115 (the mean being 100 and standard deviation being 15) AND 68% of adult male heights fall between 65 and 75 inches (the mean being 70 and I am estimating a standard deviation of 5). Basically, even though the means and standard deviations change, something that is normally distributed will keep these probabilities (relative to the mean and standard deviation). By standardizing these numbers (changing the mean to 0 and the standard deviation to 1) we can use one table to find the probabilities for anything that is normally distributed.
