 Learning Outcomes

At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able

to:
• Convert a normal random variable to a

standard normal random variable.

• Compute probabilities and percentiles.

• Solve problems involving a normal random

variable.
 Getting Ready !
1. Normal probability distribution is
sometimes called ____________.
Uniform Distribution

Gaussian Distribution

Poisson Distribution
 Getting Ready !
2. Two standard deviations above and
below the mean is approximately equal
to __.
99%

68%
95%
 Getting Ready !
3. The total area of the curve is equal to
___.

0.50
0.01
 Getting Ready !
4. The area above the mean is 0.50 and
the area below the mean is also 0.50.
This property of the normal curve is said
to be ____________.

Asymptotic Symmetric
Asymmetric Kurtosis
 Getting Ready !
5. The parameters used in the concept of
normal curve are ______ and _______.

Mean Median

Mean and Mean and

Variance Standard
Deviation
 Getting Ready !
6. It answers the questions, how high or
flat is the normal curve.

Skewness Range

Kurtosis Variance
 Getting Ready !
7. Also known as the “standard score”.
These are the six scores at the baseline
of the normal curve.
Z - Score
Normal Score

Raw Score
 Understanding the
Normal and Z-score
 Let’s Explore
What are Z-scores?
Z-score (also known as standard score)
measures how many standard deviations an
observation is “Above” or “Below” the mean.
Positive Z-score= above the mean
Negative Z-score= below the mean
 Let’s Discuss
Example 1:

John got 76 marks in his 𝐗−𝛍

Chemistry test. If the marks 𝐳=
𝛔
of the whole class had a
mean of 52 and standard
deviation of 8, what was
John’s standard score?
Example 2:

Given the following data, in which subject did

Roel perform poor?
Subjects Roel’s Mean Standard Deviation
score
Mathematics 90 85 1.5
English 95 97 2.0
MAPEH 94 92 1.75
Example 3:
Determine the z-score such that 33% is
above it.

67% 33%
Example 4:
Determine the z-score such that 75% is
above it.

25% 75%
Example 5:
Determine the z-score that represents
the 95th percentile of the normal curve.

95th percentile
Example 6:
Determine the z-score that represents
the 50th percentile of the normal curve.

50th percentile
 Let’s Practice

Determine the z-score such that…

a. 25 % is above it
b. 10% is above it
c. 85 % is below it
 Let’s Practice

Determine the z-score that represents

the….
a. 75th percentile
b. 10th percentile
c. 90th percentile
d. 99th percentile
 Let’s Practice

Find the area under the normal curve

a. Above z = 2.2 or P(z > 2.2)
b. z =0.5 and z = 2.12 P(0.5< z < 2.12)
c. Below z = -2.14
d. Between z = -0.67 and z = 3.01
