1. Which of the following are characteristics of the Normal Distribution? (Select all that apply)
bell shaped |
continuous |
discrete |
symmetric |
2. X~N(335, 50). Find the z-score corresponding to an observation of 284.
-1.02 |
6.7 |
1.02 |
-6.7 |
Charecteristic of A normal distribution:- Here, are the the characteristics of a normal distribution.
Symmetric :--A normal distribution is perfectly symmetrical around its center. That is, the right side of the center is a mirror image of the left side. There is also only one mode, or peak, in a normal distribution.
Contineous :--- Normal distributions are continuous and have tails that are asymptotic, that means they approach but never touch the x-axis.
bell shape :--It should be of bell shape in which The center of a normal distribution is located at its peak, and 50% of the data lies above the mean, while 50% lies below.
Discrete :-Since it is contineous So it cant be discrete .
So from the above we can conclued that the charecteristic of a normal distribution is
i)Bell shaped
ii)Contineous
iii)Symmetric
2) given datas
X=284 now we have to find Z score
so from the formula the Z score corresponding to observation X=284 is we have
