This document discusses key concepts related to normal distributions and z-scores. It provides examples of how to calculate z-scores based on a data set's mean and standard deviation. It also shows how to use z-score values and the normal distribution table to determine the probability that a random value will fall within a given range. The key points are that z-scores indicate how many standard deviations a value is from the mean, and the normal distribution allows converting between z-scores and probabilities.
1) The document discusses density curves and normal distributions, which are important mathematical models for describing the overall pattern of data. A density curve describes the distribution of a large number of observations.
2) It specifically covers the normal distribution and some of its key properties, including that about 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of observations fall within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean, respectively.
3) The document shows how to work with normal distributions using techniques like standardizing data, finding areas under the normal curve using the standard normal table, and assessing normality with a normal quantile plot.
1. The standard deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are from the average value.
2. It is calculated by taking the square root of the variance, which is the average of the squared differences from the mean.
3. When only a sample of data is available rather than the entire population, the sample standard deviation is estimated using N-1 in the denominator rather than N to reduce bias, though some bias still remains for small samples.

When modeling a system, encountering missing data is common.
What shall a modeler do in the case of unknown or missing information?
When dealing with missing data, it is critical to make correct assumptions to ensure that the system is accurate.
One must common strategy for handling such situations is calculate the average of available data for the similar existing systems (i.e., creating sampling data).
Use this average as a reasonable estimate for the missing value.
This document discusses various measures of dispersion used in statistics to quantify how spread out or varied a set of data values are. It defines dispersion as the state of being dispersed or spread out, and explains that measures of dispersion help interpret the variability in data by showing how squeezed or scattered the values are.

The document provides information about the normal distribution and standard normal distribution:
- The normal distribution is defined by its mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ). Changing μ shifts the distribution left or right, while changing σ increases or decreases the spread.
- All normal distributions can be converted to the standard normal distribution (with μ=0 and σ=1) by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
- The standard normal distribution is useful because probability tables and computer programs provide the integral values, avoiding the need to calculate integrals manually.
- For a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% falls

Transformation to standard normal distribution
Calculation of probabilities from standard normal distribution using Z table.
Normal distribution:
- Certain data, when graphed as a histogram (data on the horizontal axis, frequency on the vertical axis), creates a bell-shaped curve known as a normal curve, or normal distribution.
- Two parameters define the normal distribution, the mean (µ) and the standard deviation (σ).
Properties of the Normal Distribution:
Normal distributions are symmetrical with a single central peak at the mean (average) of the data.
The shape of the curve is described as bell-shaped with the graph falling off evenly on either side of the mean.
Fifty percent of the distribution lies to the left of the mean and fifty percent lies to the right of the mean.
-The mean, the median, and the mode fall in the same place. In a normal distribution the mean = the median = the mode.
- The spread of a normal distribution is controlled by the
standard deviation.
In all normal distributions the range ±3σ includes nearly
all cases (99%).
Uni modal:
One mode
Symmetrical:
Left and right halves are mirror images
Bell-shaped:
With maximum height at the mean, median, mode
Continuous:
There is a value of Y for every value of X
Asymptotic:
The farther the curve goes from the mean, the closer it gets to the X axis but it never touches it (or goes to 0).
The total area under a normal distribution curve is equal to 1.00, or 100%.
Using Normal distribution for finding probability:
While finding out the probability of any particular observation we find out the area under the curve which is covered by that particular observation. Which is always 0-1.
Transforming normal distribution to standard normal distribution:
Given the mean and standard deviation of a normal distribution the probability of occurrence can be worked out for any value.
But these would differ from one distribution to another because of differences in the numerical value of the means and standard deviations.
To get out of this problem it is necessary to find a common unit of measurement into which any score could be converted so that one table will do for all normal distributions.
This common unit is the standard normal distribution or Z
score and the table used for this is called Z table.
- A z score always reflects the number of standard deviations above or below the mean a particular score or value is.
where
X is a score from the original normal distribution,
μ is the mean of the original normal distribution, and
σ is the standard deviation of original normal distribution.
Steps for calculating probability using the Z-
score:
-Sketch a bell-shaped curve,
- Shade the area (which represents the probability)
-Use the Z-score formula to calculate Z-value(s)
-Look up Z-values in table

...
When scores are measured on a continuous variable, the
distribution of frequency (number of cases or units in each value
range) is commonly displayed by a histogram.
z core will be the same
as the mean and the sd are the same
but the percentile not the same
percentile and z score is depend on the distribution
6. Population distribution
The distribution of a continuous variable in a large/infinite population
is typically represented graphically using a continuous line
(probability distribution curve). The histogram for a sample of data
from the population can be taken as an approximation of the curve.

larger sample —> better approximation —> line join become more like smooth cure
7. Probability distribution
The probability that a continuous variable is between two specified
values is equal to the area under the distribution curve over that
interval.

frequency probability finding someone under the value = the area under the curve
8. Normal distribution
• It is a family of theoretical probability distributions precisely generated
by a formula
• The distributions of many variables are taken/assumed as (or being
close to) normal distributions
• A normal distribution is symmetrical about its mean and extends to
infinity and negative infinity
• A bell-shaped probability distribution curve does not necessarily
represent a normal distribution.

The approximate areas under the standard normal distribution
curve that lie between z = 0 and several whole-number z scores
(Source: Hatcher)
The percentage of the area under a normal distribution curve is a function of z score.
10. Normal distribution

Example: The probability of a
standardized and normally distributed
variable being less than 0.5,
P (z < 0.5) = .6915
.6915
P( -ꝏ < z < .5)
11. Normal distribution
P (z < 0.84) = 0.8
• As the total area under a
standard normal distribution
curve = 1,
P (z > 0.84) = 1 – 0.8 = 0.2
• As a normal distribution curve
is symmetrical,
P (z < - 0.84) = 0.2

12. Example
What is the probability
that a standardized and
normally distributed
variable is between the
mean (z = 0) and 1.48?
12
1.48
From the standard normal distribution table,
probability (z < 1.48) = .9306; i.e., referring to the diagram, the
area of A + B = 0.9306
Area of A = 0.5 (since a normal distribution is symmetrical about
its mean)
The required probability = the area of B = 0.9306 – 0.5 = 0.4306

P(z < .8) = .7881
The probability of z being
between -1 and 0.8
P(z < -1) = . 1587
= .7881 - .1587 =.6294
14. Example
The mean height of the individuals in a population is 175 cm
and the standard deviation (SD) of their height values is 10
cm. Assuming that height is normally distributed in the
population and an individual is randomly selected, what is
the probability that the selected individual’s height is
between 165 and 185 cm?
In terms of z scores, the range of 165 to 185 cm corresponds
to (165 – 175)/10 and (185 – 175)/10, i.e., z = -1 to 1. The
probability required, as obtained from the statistical table, is
P (z < 1) – P (z <-1) ~ 68.3% (P stands for probability)

only mean and sd
(x-m)/sd —> z score
find the probability between the two z score
z score can be apply no matter the distribution is normal or not
when the normal distribution is used, the z score can be used to l link the z score and percentile
