Resource summary
Probability Distributions
standard deviation has a close relationship with the normal distribution or bell-shaped curve
Aka sample distributions & distibution patterns
distribution of all possible values that can be taken by that statistic.
formed by calculating that statistic for each of a large number of samples of the same size that are drawn randomly from the population
Normal distribution curve aka standard normal distribution
continuous and can display any value from a dataset; it is a smooth, bell-shaped curve that is symmetric about the mean of the distribution.
symbol for the sample mean is .
defined by a formula in which there are only two sample variables
mean and standard deviation (SD).
NORMAL DIS = PROB DIS so the area under the curve is equal to 1
calculating probabilities using curve
