normal distribution Flashcards
what is normal ditrubtion for
continous random variables, ~Y
(indefinite amount of value)
Like time take for driver to drive to NYC
normal ditrubution notation
Y~N(u, @^2)
where is the point of infelction in normal distrubtion
u-@
u+@
what percentage of data is withioin 1,2 or 3 standard deviation of the mean
1- 68%
2- 95%
3- 99.7%
finding probabilities and inverse normal
know your calculator
will calcualte < only
standard normal distribution notation
Z~N (0,1^2)
how to code to make it become standard notmsal distribution
Z=Y-u/@
if you are missing u or @ or both then
use coding Z=Y-u/@ and then if both missing do simualtaoeus equation
approximate binomial distribution as normal distributions conditions
if n is large
if p is close 0.5
approximate binomial distribution as normal distributions working out u and @
u = np
@ = root of (np(1-p))
what must you do if approximate binomial distribution as normal distribution
contiuously correction
(make range larger by 0.5 either end )
