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.
What proportion of a normal distribution is located between z-0.90 and z 0.90?
0.368 or 36.8%.And you should specify that it is a standard normal distribution.0.368 or 36.8%.And you should specify that it is a standard normal distribution.0.368 or 36.8%.And you should specify that it is a standard normal distribution.0.368 or 36.8%.And you should specify that it is a standard normal distribution.
Properties of Chi-square distribution?
It is a continuous distribution. Its domain is the positive real numbers. It is a member of the exponential family of distributions. It is characterised by one parameter. It has additive properties in terms of the defining parameter. Finally, although this is a property of the standard normal distribution, not the chi-square, it explains the importance of the chi-square distribution in hypothesis testing: If Z1, Z2, ..., Zn are n independent standard Normal variables, then the sum of their squares has a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom.
Why does a researcher want to go from a normal distribution to a standard normal distribution?
A researcher wants to go from a normal distribution to a standard normal distribution because the latter allows him/her to make the correspondence between the area and the probability. Though events in the real world rarely follow a standard normal distribution, z-scores are convenient calculations of area that can be used with any/all normal distributions. Meaning: once a researcher has translated raw data into a standard normal distribution (z-score), he/she can then find its associated probability.
What is the z value for a normal distribution?
If a random variable X has a Normal distribution with mean m and standard deviation s, then z = (X - m)/s has a Standard Normal distribution. That is, Z has a Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Probabilities for a general Normal distribution are extremely difficult to obtain but values for the Standard Normal have been calculated numerically and are widely tabulated. The z-transformation is, therefore, used to evaluate probabilities for Normally distributed random variables.
