Normal Distribution and Empirical Rule Guide

The document covers statistical concepts including mean, standard deviation, and variance calculations for given data sets. It discusses the normal distribution, its historical background with Karl Friedrich Gauss, and the Empirical Rule which describes the distribution of data within standard deviations. Additionally, it poses synthesis questions regarding the characteristics and implications of normal distribution.

PRE-REQUISITE

ASSESSMENT
Find the mean, standard deviation, and variance
in the sample data set given
below:

1. 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31

2. 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135


NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Activity 1. Instruction: Match the Data Sets with
the possible graphical
representations of such data sets
Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-
1855) who also derived its
equation of the normal
distribution from a study of
errors in repeated
measurements (Gauss’ Law of
Error).
EMPERICAL RULE
The shaded regions illustrate how much data are
contained in that region.
For example, the region which is one standard deviation
above the mean, 34.13% of data are found there.
Likewise, there are 68.26% of the data are within one (1)
standard deviation from the mean. Thus, this Empirical
Rule:

68.26% of all observations lie within in one standard


deviation of the mean;
95.44% of all observation lie within two standard
deviations of the mean; and
99.74% of all observation lie within three standard
deviations of the mean

Positive Z-score

Synthesis

[Link] are the key characteristics of a normal


distribution?

2. How are the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ)


related to the shape of the normal curve?

3. Explain why the normal distribution is often called


a “bell curve.”

4. What does the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule) tell


us about data distribution in a normal curve?
