Area to the left of the mean in a normal distribution is equal to?
One standard deviation
Why is t score equal to z score in a normal distribution?
Because as the sample size increases the Student's t-distribution approaches the standard normal.
The total area under a normal distribution is infinite?
The total area under a normal distribution is not infinite. The total area under a normal distribution is a continuous value between any 2 given values. The function of a normal distribution is actually defined such that it must have a fixed value. For the "standard normal distribution" where μ=0 and σ=1, the area under the curve is equal to 1.
Are the mean and median equal in a normal distribution?
Yes.
Can normal distribution be applied on discrete data?
Yes. The normal distribution is used to approximate a binomial distribution when the sample size (n) times the probability of success (p), and the probability of failure (q) are both greater than or equal to 5. The mean of the normal approximation is n*p and the standard deviation is the square root of n*p*q.
