AP Statistics Part 1: Organizing Data: Looking for patterns and departures from patterns Essential Question: What are the characteristics of a distribution that is normal, or somewhat normal? Chapter 2: The Normal Distributions 2.1 Density Curves and the Normal Distribution A density curve is a smooth curve drawn from a histogram that describes the proportions of the observations that fall into a given range of values, not the counts. The areas under the curve represent specific proportions of the observations The total area under the curve is ALWAYS exactly 1 AP Statistics Part 1: Organizing Data: Looking for patterns and departures from patterns Essential Question: What are the characteristics of a distribution that is normal, or somewhat normal?

AP Statistics Part 1: Organizing Data: Looking for patterns and departures from patterns Essential Question: What are the characteristics of a distribution that is normal, or somewhat normal? Chapter 2: The Normal Distributions β’ 2.1 Density Curves and the Normal Distribution β’ All Normal distributions have the same overall shape. The exact density curve for a particular normal distribution is described by giving the mean and standard deviation. The standard deviation, π, can be approximated by inspection as the point of inflection of the normal curve. The point is also known as the point where the graph changes from concave down to concave up.

If two different populations are also normal, then we can compare both populations by βStandardizingβ the data. This new statistic is known as the standardized score, or the π§ score β’ π§= π₯βπ π β’ The value of π§ refers to the number of standard deviations from the mean an observation lies in a normal distribution. β’ Since π§ describes the number of standard deviations from the mean, then π§ can range in value from about β3.4 β€ π§ β€ 3.4 AP Statistics Part 1: Organizing Data: Looking for patterns and departures from patterns Essential Question: What does the scatterplot of a normal probability plot look like? β’ Chapter 2: The Normal Distributions β’ 2.2 Standard Normal Calculations β’ The π§ scores can also be plotted along the normal curve, more specifically known as the standard normal curve.
