To determine this, the researcher first collects the data about the number of emails received per day
for a period of 20 days. Emails above 8 lie in the upper quartile mark while email below 4 lie in the
lower quartile mark. He used the normal distribution to evaluate large binomial distribution. It tells
you that in Math, your score is far higher than most of the students (your score falls into the tail) 13.
Gauss in 1809 used the method to analyse his astronomical work while Legendre used the method in
1805. Assuming a tail probability of 5% and a degree of freedom of 19 the tables give the critical
value of X2 to be equal to 30.14. Since the critical value of X2 from the tables is greater than the
calculated X2, it shows that all the data fall within the normal distribution. The Z value indicates the
distance in terms of standard deviation that a particular X value is from the mean. (Durham business
school). The values were generated using the spreadsheets. (Durham business school). Essentials of

they had read during the past three months (including books for school). The occurrence of outliers
is also likely in such a case. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Draw the
frequency distribution and the normal distribution curve. This theorem states that as long as there are

In addition, the mean, median and mode coincide such that what we have when the variable values
are distributed along the x-axis and the frequency count is along the y-axis in a graph is a bell-
shaped curve known as the normal distribution. The first step was for the researcher to collect data
from the internet. The curve is continuous and does not touch the X axis (Wittwer, 2004). The level
of measurement determines how you can analyse your data. Select every Nth (e.g. 10th) person in
the list until you have enough participants. B. The process of stratified sampling B 1. The calculated
value of X2 should be less than the critical value given by the tables at a 5 % significant level (NIST
SEMATECH, 2008). Such a bell-shaped curve is illustrated in Gravetter and Wallnau (47),
particularly in Figure 2.8. Z-scores were devised to standardize a normal distribution (Gravetter and
Wallnau, 74). This is important when interpreting data because the best results can be attained
through a sampling process that has very few outliers. Discrete random variable consists of a set of
data that takes discrete values that is, the values can be counted. Describe the likely reasons for
manufacturers of electronic products to adopt dual distribution. In the normal distribution, the
frequency count is distributed symmetrically to the left and right sides of the mean.
To answer this question we should use standard scores 19. Normal distribution is also called
Gaussian distribution or the bell shaped distribution as the resulting graph has a bell shaped nature.
In evaluation of normal distribution curve it is necessary to conduct a survey using a practical
example. I share the initial assertion that there is predominant general knowledge of the standard
Normal Distribution (z-distribution) and potential ambiguity on the t-distribution unless students or
researchers had been provided with courses on statistics and probabilities. The data follows a normal
distribution with a mean score ( M ) of 1150 and a standard deviation ( SD ) of 150. On the contrary,

A sample size of 30 or more is generally considered large. If you convert an individual value into a z
-score, you can then find the probability of all values up to that value occurring in a normal
distribution. Using this data it is possible to draw the cumulative frequency distribution for this set of
discrete data. Normal distribution curves are used to describe the trends of a given data to cluster
around the mean. Also, the standard deviations will be within a set range of numbers. The definite
integral is useful in finding the area between the x-axis and the curve graph, between the two x-
values. Standard scores (Z-scores) your individual height mean height in a given sample standard
deviation in a given sample A very good explanation of Z-scores: 20. The area under the normal
distribution curve is equal to 1. I share the initial assertion that there is predominant general

as to whether normal distribution curves are suitable for analysing any system behavior. The curve is
not skewed and does not touch the x axis( Cambridge University,1999). Exercise A survey of 20
students was conducted to find out how many books they had read during the past three months

normal distribution curve is one of the most commonly used statistical tools. The term bell shaped
distribution function was first used by Esprit Jouffret in 1872 and later the graph was referred to as
the normal distribution by Charles Pierce and Francis Galton.
Other forms of data may require detailed calculations in order to make an inference or hypothesis.
An alternative method for the computation of the median is as shown below. In addition, “the
distribution of z-scores will always have a standard deviation of 1” (Gravetter and Walnau, 129).
This is 100% legal. You may not submit downloaded papers as your own, that is cheating. Also you.
Using Normal Distribution is very important since it provides an appropriate description of the
measures of the variables (height, weight, age, economic profile, reading ability, job satisfaction,
work performance, memory, life span, and many others) precisely and normally distributed. A normal
distribution can be standardized using z-scores. The level of measurement determines how you can
analyse your data. It is possible to say that there is a certain percent of a variable falling within a
certain range on the graph.3. In tests like Goodness of Fit, Independence, and ANOVA, why are
other distributions introduced and used instead of the normal distribution. The value of X2 can be
calculated by taking into consideration the following. The study is limited to subjecting the normal
distribution curve to the X2 test only and does not compare this distribution to other distribution
methods. For accurate results, you have to be sure that the population is normally distributed before
you can use parametric tests with small samples. Computing the cumulative frequency and the
relative cumulative frequency for this discrete variable the following table is obtained. On the

Values of variable - a relationship between the values of a random variable and the frequency (or the
probability) with which each of these values can be found in a sample (or a population). Normal
distribution has been used extensively in natural and social sciences and also in the evaluation of
statistical data. From the data in the table above, it can be seen that most of the variables fall
between the 0.68 %. This means that the collected data in this system can be accurately surveyed
using the normal distribution curve. The data follows a normal distribution with a mean score ( M )
of 1150 and a standard deviation ( SD ) of 150. The utility of the Normal Distribution is appreciated

The mean, which is at the center of the distribution, is 6. If one is not conventionally justified to
reject the null hypothesis, one has to conventionally accept that he or she is unable to reject the null
hypothesis; alternatively, he or she may accept the null hypothesis as true. Area This area can be
obtained from a definite integral formula. This paper seeks to identify whether the normal
distribution is an accurate statistic method for analyzing a given system behavior.
I share the initial assertion that there is predominant general knowledge of the standard Normal
Distribution (z-distribution) and potential ambiguity on the t-distribution unless students or
researchers had been provided with courses on statistics and probabilities. Many natural phenomena
conform to a normal distribution with most elements clustering at the centre and a few extremes on
the right and the left. Variables can be classified as discrete random variable or continuous random
variable. This involves collecting of data, analysing the data to find the mean, variance and the
standard deviation and then drawing the normal distribution curves. I share the initial assertion that
there is predominant general knowledge of the standard Normal Distribution (z-distribution) and
potential ambiguity on the t-distribution unless students or researchers had been provided with

means of these different samples. The normal distribution curve is bell shaped hence the distribution
is referred to as the bell shaped distribution or the Gaussian distribution. From the data in the table
above, it can be seen that most of the variables fall between the 0.68 %. This means that the
collected data in this system can be accurately surveyed using the normal distribution curve. But to
use it, you only need to know the population mean and standard deviation. From the graph above the
median value is the value intersected by the 50 % relative cumulative frequency line. In the
contemporary world, it is evident that the strides that humanity has made have been made possible

standard deviations above the mean. In English, it’s only one standard deviation above the mean.
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. A small standard deviation results in a
narrow curve, while a large standard deviation leads to a wide curve. Normal distribution curves are

there will be a wider margin of error, and thus the results cannot be truly trusted. Every normal
distribution can be converted to the standard normal distribution by turning the individual values into
z -scores. Normal distribution has been used extensively in natural and social sciences and also in the
