NORMAL DISTRIBUTION Flashcards
(11 cards)
Also called Gaussian Distribution
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
graph of the distribution is
bell – shaped curve (called the normal curve).
The maximum point on the curve occurs at
x = μ.
The graph is symmetrical about the line x = μ
T or F
T
The mean and mode of the distribution are also located at the center of the graph
T or F
F - mean and mode
curve never touches the x-axis). in Normal Distribution
T
The standard deviation affects both the width and the height of the curve.
T
are the points that mark the change in the curve’s concavity.
. Inflection points
a handy quick estimate of the spread of the data given the mean and standard deviation of a data set that follows the normal distribution.
empirical rule
allow for control across different units of measure
