Two Normal curves, showing the mean µ and standard deviation σ. Normal Distributions • We abbreviate the Normal distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ as N(µ,σ). • Any particular Normal distribution is completely specified by two numbers: its mean µ and standard deviation σ. • The mean of a Normal distribution is the center of the symmetric Normal curve. • The standard deviation is the distance from the center to the change-of-curvature points on either side. Normal Distributions are Useful… • Normal distributions are good descriptions for some distributions of real data. • Normal distributions are good approximations of the results of many kinds of chance outcomes. • Many statistical inference procedures are based on Normal distributions. The 68-95-99.7 Rule Although there are many Normal curves, they all have properties in common. The 68-95-99.7 Rule (“The Empirical Rule”) In the Normal distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ: •Approximately 68% of the observations fall within σ of µ. •Approximately 95% of the observations fall within 2σ of µ. •Approximately 99.7% of the observations fall within 3σ of µ. Explain 1- Example 1 Suppose the heights (in inches) of men (ages 20–29) years old in the United States are normally distributed with a mean of 69.3 inches and a standard deviation of 2.92 inches. Find each of the following. A. The percent of men who are between 63.46 inches and 75.14 inches tall. Suppose the heights (in inches) of men (ages 20–29) years old in the United States are normally distributed with a mean of 69.3 inches and a standard deviation of 2.92 inches. Find each of the following. Do Your Turn 5 and 6 Importance of Standardizing •There are infinitely many different Normal distributions; all with unique standard deviations and means. •In order to more effectively compare different Normal distributions we “standardize”. •Standardizing allows us to compare apples to apples. The Standardized Normal Distribution All Normal distributions are the same if we measure in units of size σ from the mean µ as center. The standardized Normal distribution is the Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Example 2 • Suppose the heights (in inches) of women (ages 20–29) in the United States are normally distributed with a mean of 64.1 inches and a standard deviation of 2.75 inches. Find the percent of women who are no more than 65 inches tall and the probability that a randomly chosen woman is between 60 inches and 63 inches tall. Do Your Turn 7-8 & Elaborate 9-11 Using the Standard Normal Table Using the Standard Normal Table, find the following: Z-Score P-value -2.23 1.65 .52 .79 .23 Let’s Practice In the 2008 Wimbledon tennis tournament, Rafael Nadal averaged 115 miles per hour (mph) on his first serves. Assume that the distribution of his first serve speeds is Normal with a mean of 115 mph and a standard deviation of 6.2 mph. About what proportion of his first serves would you expect to be less than 120 mph? Greater than? 1. Draw and label an Normal curve with the mean and standard deviation. 2. Calculate the z- score x= variable µ= mean σ= standard deviation 3. Determine the p-value by looking up the z-score in the Standard Normal table. P(z < 0.81) = .7910 Z .00 .01 .02 0.7 .7580 .7611 .7642 0.8 .7881 .7910 .7939 0.9 .8159 .8186 .8212 4. Conclude in context. We expect that 79.1% of Nadal’s first serves will be less than 120 mph. We expect that 20.9% of Nadal’s first serves will be greater than 120 mps. Let’s Practice When Tiger Woods hits his driver, the distance the ball travels can be described by N(304, 8). What percent of Tiger’s drives travel between 305 and 325 yards? Normal Distribution Calculations When Tiger Woods hits his driver, the distance the ball travels can be described by N(304, 8). What percent of Tiger’s drives travel between 305 and 325 yards? Step 1: Draw Distribution Normal Distribution Calculations When Tiger Woods hits his driver, the distance the ball travels can be described by N(304, 8). What percent of Tiger’s drives travel between 305 and 325 yards? Step 2: Z- Scores Normal Distribution Calculations Step 3: P-values Using Table A, we can find the area to the left of z=2.63 and the area to the left of z=0.13. Normal Distribution Calculations Step 4: Conclude In Context Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve Find the proportion of observations from the standard Normal distribution that are between -1.25 and 0.81. Step 1: Look up area to the left of 0.81 using table A. Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve Find the proportion of observations from the standard Normal distribution that are between -1.25 and 0.81. Step 2: Find the area to the left of -1.25 Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve Find the proportion of observations from the standard Normal distribution that are between -1.25 and 0.81. Step 3: Subtract. Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve Can you find the same proportion using a different approach? 1 - (0.1056 + 0.2090) = 1 – 0.3146 = 0.6854 11-6 Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Testing Confidence Intervals • Inferential statistics are used to draw conclusions or statistical inferences about a population using a sample. • Example: In a recent poll, 1514 teens who owned a portable media player had an average of 1033 songs. The poll had the following disclaimer: “For results based on the total sample of national teens, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±31 songs. Confidence Intervals • Is an estimate of a population parameter stated as a range with a specific degree of certainty. • A 95% confidence interval for a population means that we are 95% sure that the mean will fall within the range of z-values. • Example: We were 95% confident that the population mean is within 31 songs of 1033.
