SEGMENT 1 - Introduction
A marvelous day to you, young Stat Warriors! This is Teacher
Kevin by the way, your guide in an exciting and amazing Stat
Venture.
1. What can you say about the shape of the normal curve?
Can you think of some objects that resembles its shape?
That is right, it looks like a bell. So, that is the first property.
The distribution curve is bell-shaped.
2. How about the shape of the curve with respect from its
center? What can you say about its left side and right-side
portion?
You got it right, they are somehow equal. That is, the curve
is symmetrical about its center.
This means that if we draw a segment form the peak of the
curve to the horizontal axis, the segment divides the normal
curve into two equal areas portions.
So, that explains the next property. The mean, the median
and the mode coincide at the center.
1. First, when the means are not equal, but the standard
deviation are equal, what have you observed of the normal
curve?
Exactly, the curves have similar shape but centered at
different points.
Example:
The score of the Senior High School students in their
Statistics and Probability quarterly examination are normally
distributed with a mean of 35 and standard deviation of 5.
a. What percent will fall within the score 30 to 40?
b. What scores fall within 95% of the distribution?
Note that the area under the normal curve will always be
less than 1 since the total area is 1.
Segment 5 – Content 2 (Understanding z – scores)
Now, let us consider a more organized way of finding the TB at the left side
area. To be able to find the area of the corresponding z-
value, we need to consider several steps.
Step 3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to
find the corresponding area. We have to divide -1.35 into
two parts, -1.3 and 0.05. Locate the first part on the left
most column and the second part on the uppermost row
found in the z-table and locate their intersection. The
intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885.
Step 3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to
find the corresponding area. We have to divide -1.35 into
two parts, -1.3 and 0.05. Locate the first part on the left
most column and the second part on the uppermost row
found in the z-table and locate their intersection. The
intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885.
Step 3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to
find the corresponding area. We have to divide -1.3 into two
parts, -1.3 and 0.00. Locate the first part on the left most
column and the second part on the uppermost row found in
the z-table and locate their intersection. The intersection
between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885. Same with 2.00, the area is
0.9772
X −μ where:
z=
σ X = given measurement
(z-score for population μ = population mean
data) σ = population standard
deviation
X −X X = sample mean
z=
s S = sample standard
(z-score for sample data) deviation
Example 1:
Given the mean μ = 50 and the standard deviation,
σ = 4 of a population of Reading scores. Find the z-value that
corresponds to a score X = 58.
Solution:
Given: μ = 50; σ = 4; X = 58
X −μ
z=
σ
58−50
z=

z=

z=2
Example 2:
The heights of teachers in Sta. Catalina National High
School are normally distributed with a mean of 150 cm and
standard deviation of 15 cm. The height of Sir Victor has a z-
score of 3.25. What is the actual height of Sir Victor?
Solutions:
In this example, z-score is given while the normal
random variable is unknown. To solve for the normal
random variable x, multiply the z-score (z) by the standard
deviation σ , then add the mean μ. Therefore;
x = zσ + μ
= 3.25(15 cm) + 150 cm
= 48.75 cm + 150 cm
= 198.75 cm
So, the actual height of Sir Victor is 198.75 cm.
Segment 6 – Content 3 (Identifying Regions of Areas Under the Normal Curve)
A normal distribution curve can be used as a Teacher broadcaster at the left
probability distribution curve for normally distributed
variables. The area under the standard normal distribution
curve can also be thought of as a probability. That is, if it
were possible to select any z value at random, the
probability of choosing one, say, at the left of 1.45 would be
the same as the area under the curve at the left of 1.45. In
this case, the area is 0.9265. Therefore, the probability of
randomly selecting a z value at the left of 1.45 is 0.9265 or
92.65%. The problems involving probabilities and percentiles
are solved in the same manner as finding the areas under a
normal curve.
X −X X = sample mean
z=
s S = sample standard
(z-score for sample data) deviation
A percentile is a measure of relative standing. It is a
descriptive measure of the relationship of a
measurement to the rest of the data.
