Normal Probability Distributions

TermDefinition
Normal probability distribution Distribution of probabilities that plots all of its values in a symmetrical fashion and most of the results are situated around a probability's mean; values are equally likely to plot above or below the mean
What types of variables have a normal or an approximately normal distribution? Continuous random variables (weight) and Discrete random variables (score from test with set number of questions)
What are the first 2 properties of the standard normal distribution? 1) The total area under the normal curve is equal to 1. 2) The distribution is mounded and symmetrical; it extends indefinitely in both directions, approaching but never touching the horizontal axis
What are the other 3 properties of the standard normal distribution? 3) The distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 4) The mean divides the area in half (0.50 on each side) 5) Nearly all the area is between z - -3.00 and 3.00
Standard normal distribution The normal distribution of the standard variable z
The standard normal distribution is also known as... Standard score Z-score
Binomial distribution Probability distribution of the discrete random variable x, the number of successes observed in "n" repeated trials; as "n" trials becomes larger, the probability distribution appears more normal
What is the main difference between the binomial and normal probability distribution? Binomial: random variable is discrete Normal: random variable is continuous
Continuity Correction Factor Addition and subtraction of 0.5 to the x-value to convert a discrete random variable into a continuous one
Mean in a binomial distribution u = np
Standard deviation in a binomial distribution o = sqrt(npq)
Rule for binomial distribution normal distribution provides a reasonable approximation to a binomial probability whenever the values of np and n(1-p) both equal or exceed 5.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
