MA 132 Section 7.2 Applications of the Normal Distribution !-Scores n "-scores represent the distance that a data value is from the mean in terms of the number of standard deviations. $−& "= ' Calculating a z-score n n n n n n IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean ! = 100 and % = 15 . Calculate the z-score for an IQ of 120 '= ()* + = ,-.),.. ,/ = 1.33 What does this mean? An IQ of 120 is 1.33 “standard deviations” above the mean. i.e., 120 ≈ 100 + 1.33×15 Finding Probabilities/Proportions Using a Normal Curve r u PIGS ) EXE 80 • 8536 2nd VARS, - ! ! ! % 2 : normal Cdf normakdf ( 65 , 80 , 70,45) Henniker .. . ÷ : : Example, continued - 1333 PIX 275) / 70 normal Cdf ( 75, = y 75 to IE 99 .
