Mar 19, 2016  16 The Normal Distribution We introduce now a continuous distribution that playsMar 19, 2016 16 The Normal Distribution We introduce now a continuous distribution that plays a central role in a very large body of statistical analysis. . For example, suppose that a big group of students takes a test. A large proportion of their scores are likely to be concentrated about the mean, and the numbers of scores in ranges of a fixed width are likely to «tail off” away from the mean.

Mar 19, 2016  17 The Normal Distribution If the average score on the test isMar 19, 2016 17 The Normal Distribution If the average score on the test is 60, we would expect to find, for instance, more students with scores in the range 55 -65 than in the range 85 -95 These considerations suggest a probability density function that peaks at the mean and tails off at its extremities. One distribution with these properties is the normal distribution , , whose probability density function is shown below. As can be see this density function is bell-shaped.

These two parameters have very convenient interpretations

Mar 19, 2016  23 Comments & Notation  It follows from these properties that givenMar 19, 2016 23 Comments & Notation It follows from these properties that given the mean and variance of a normal random variable, an individual member of the family of normal distributions is specified. This allows use of a convenient notation. If the random variable X X follows a normal distribution with mean and variance , , we write 2 2 ~ , X N

Mar 19, 2016  24 Comments Now,  the mean of any distribution provides  Mar 19, 2016 24 Comments Now, the mean of any distribution provides a measure of central location , , while the variance gives a measure of spread or dispersion about the mean. . Thus, the values taken by the parameters and have different effects on the probability density function of a normal random variable.

Mar 19, 2016  25 Comments We shows probability density functions for two normal distributions withMar 19, 2016 25 Comments We shows probability density functions for two normal distributions with a common variance but different means. It can be seen that increasing the mean while holding the variance fixed shifts the density function but does not alter its shape. .

Each is symmetric about the common mean, but that with the larger variance is more disperse

However, a crucial difficulty remains because there does not exist a convenient formula for determining the cumulative distribution function. . In principle, for any specific normal distribution, probabilities could be obtained by numerical methods using an electronic computer.

Mar 19, 2016  35 Range Probabilities for Normal Random Variables However, it would be enormouslyMar 19, 2016 35 Range Probabilities for Normal Random Variables However, it would be enormously tedious if we had to carry out such an operation for every normal distribution we encountered. Fortunately, probabilities for any normal distribution can always be expressed in terms of probabilities for a single normal distribution for which the cumulative distribution function has been evaluated and tabulated.

Let the random variable X X be normally distributed with mean and variance . . We know that subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation yields a random variable Z that has mean 0 and variance 1. It can also be shown that if X X is normally distributed, so is Z. Hence, Z has a standard normal distribution

Mar 19, 2016  61 Comments  In Examples, if the scores awarded on the testMar 19, 2016 61 Comments In Examples, if the scores awarded on the test were integers, the distribution of scores would be inherently discrete. Nevertheless, the normal distribution can typically provide an adequate approximation in such circumstances. We will see later that the normal distribution can often be employed as an approximation to discrete distributions. As a preliminary, we introduce in the next lecture a result that provides strong justification for the emphasis given to the normal distribution.
