A distribution table would be primarily used in the field of statistics and probability. Collecting and interpreting data is much easier when compiled in this format.

What is the difference between standard normal distribution table and the t distribution table?

standard normal is for a lot of data, a t distribution is more appropriate for smaller samples, extrapolating to a larger set.


Why is only one normal table need to find any probability under the normal curve?

A normal distribution is defined by its mean and standard deviation, which are sufficient to describe the entire curve. Once you know these two parameters, you can use the standard normal table (Z-table) to find probabilities for any normal distribution by standardizing values. This process involves converting any normal variable to a standard score (Z-score), which allows you to utilize the same table for all normal distributions. Therefore, only one normal table is needed for any probability under the normal curve.


Why does a researcher want to go from a normal distribution to a standard normal distributio?

A normal distribution simply enables you to convert your values, which are in some measurement unit, to normal deviates. Normal deviates (i.e. z-scores) allow you to use the table of normal values to compute probabilities under the normal curve.


What is the principle behind the Z score table?

The z-score table is the cumulative distribution for the Standard Normal Distribution. In real life very many random variables can be modelled, at least approximately, by the Normal (or Gaussian) distribution. It will have its own mean and variance but the Z transform converts it into a standard Normal distribution (mean = 0, variance = 1). The Z-distribution is then used to make statistical inferences about the data. However, there is no simple analytical method to calculate the values of the distribution function. So, it has been done and tabulated for easy reference.

When do you use a z - table compared with when you use a t - table?

For statistical tests based on (Student's) t-distribution you use the t-table. This is appropriate for small sample sizes - up to around 30. For larger samples (or degrees of freedom), the t-distribution becomes very close to the Standard Normal distribution so you use the z-tables.


Are you provided the normal distribution chart on the SOA Society of Actuearies Exam 1 -- Exam Probability?

Yes, they provide the normal distribution z table on the P1 exam, at least on the computer exam. I'm not sure about the paper and pencil exam.

What proportion of a normal distribution corresponds to z-scores greater than plus 1.04?

To find the proportion of a normal distribution corresponding to z-scores greater than +1.04, you can use the standard normal distribution table or a calculator. The area to the left of z = 1.04 is approximately 0.8508. Therefore, the proportion of the distribution that corresponds to z-scores greater than +1.04 is 1 - 0.8508, which is approximately 0.1492, or 14.92%.


For a normal distribution what is the proportion in the tail beyond z -1.50?

In a normal distribution, a z-score of -1.50 corresponds to the left tail. The proportion of the distribution in the tail beyond z = -1.50 can be found using a standard normal distribution table or calculator. Approximately 6.68% of the data lies below this z-score, meaning that about 93.32% of the data is above it. Thus, the proportion in the tail beyond z = -1.50 is roughly 0.9332, or 93.32%.
