are the activities which could be
repeated over and over again and which have well-defined results.
EXPERIMENT
are the possible results of an experiment.
OUTCOMES
is the set of all outcomes in an experiment.
SAMPLE SPACE
is a characteristic or attribute that can assume different values.
VARIABLE
is a function that associates a real number to each element in the sample space. It is a variable whose values are determined by chance.
RANDOM VARIABLE
variable that has a certain number of particular values and nothing else.
DISCRETE VARIABLE
a continuous variable is any value that can be measured as decimals or fractions. These are infinitely situated between two values of reference.
CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
is often called a “Bell Curve” because it looks like a bell.
Normal Distribution
is often called a “Bell Curve” because it looks like a bell.
Normal Distribution
connotes the average in ability, intelligence, size, emotional traits, and personality.
Normality
developed the mathematical equation of the normal curve but his work went unnoticed.
Abraham de Moivre
he also derived the equation of the normal distribution from a study of errors in repeated measurements
Karl Friedrich Gauss
Normal Distribution Formula
f(x) = 1/σ√2π e ^ - 1/2σ^2(x-μ)^2
Normal Distribution Formula
f(x) = 1/σ√2π e ^ - 1/2σ^2(x-μ)^2
The distribution curve is _______
bell-shaped.
The curve is ______ about its center, the mean.
symmetric
The curve is ______ about its center, the mean.
symmetric
The mean, median, and mode are ________ at the center.
coincide
The width of the curve is determined by the ____________ of the distribution.
standard deviation
The tails of the curve flatten out indefinitely along the horizontal axis, always approaching the axis but never touching it. That is, the curve is _______ to the base line.
asymptotic
The area under the curve is _. Thus, it represents the probability or proportion or the percentage associated with the specific sets of data.
1
The area under the curve is _. Thus, it represents the probability or proportion or the percentage associated with the specific sets of data.
1
The ________ is a normal probability distribution that has a mean μ = 0 and a standard deviation σ = 1.
STANDARD NORMAL CURVE
The Table of Areas under the Normal Curve is also known as the ____.
