MEAN, VARIANCE, & STANDARD DEVIATION FREQUENCY

DIS.

DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

MEAN: μ = E(X)=∑ [X•P(X)]
VARIANCE: σ² = Σ [Χ² • P(X)] – μ²
STANDARD DEVIATION: σ = √Σ [Χ² • P(X)] – μ²
μ=mean; X=value of random variable; P(X)=probability value of the random variable

STANDARD SCORES (graph)

AREAS UNDER THE STANDARD NORMAL CURVE (graph)
S1 Sketch the normal distribution and indicate the mean. The mean coincides with z=0
S2 Identify the region under the curve by drawing a vertical line through z=0.
S3 Shade the required region.
S4 Determine the area of the required region (shaded) by looking for the area that
corresponds to z in the z table.
S5 Express the result using probability notation [P(a<z<b)] where a and b are z scores.

LOCATING PERCENTILE UNDER THE NORMAL

CURVE (graph)
S1 0th percentile → 0% →0.0000
S2 0.0000-0.5000=
S3 Find the area in the body of the z table. If it cannot be found in the table, get the area
value nearest to it. Find the row and the column of the area.
S4 Draw the sketch of the normal curve.

SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION

N=population size
n=sample size
S1 Formula and possible sample size
S2 Construct the frequency and probability distribution. (mean, frequency, probability)
S3 Draw histogram (bar graph)

μ=∑x / N where x is the population
