Page 2: Normal Distribution Fundamentals

This section explains the fundamental characteristics of normal distribution and introduces standard normal distribution notation. The page details the symmetrical nature of the normal curve and its key properties.

Definition: Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution that follows a bell-shaped curve.

Vocabulary: X~N(μ,σ²) represents normal distribution notation where μ is the mean and σ² is the variance.

Highlight: The normal distribution curve is characterized by six standard deviations, with three on either side of the mean.

Page 3: Standardization Process

This page covers the standardization process for converting normal distribution to standard normal distribution. It explains how to transform data values to standardized scores.

Example: The standardization formula Z = (X-μ)/σ converts any normal distribution to standard normal distribution.

Definition: Standardization is the process of converting a normal distribution to have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1.

Highlight: The 68-95-99.7 rule shows that 68% of data falls within one standard deviation, 95% within two, and 99.7% within three.

Page 4: Probability Calculations

This section details methods for Calculating probabilities using standard normal distribution tables. It covers both "less than" and "more than" probability calculations.

Example: To find P(Z > 0.7), calculate 1 - P(Z < 0.7) using the standard normal distribution table.

Highlight: Probability calculations utilize symmetry properties of the normal distribution.

Page 5: Finding Values Using Standardization

This page explains how to find unknown values using the standardization formula and probability tables.

Definition: The standardization formula can be rearranged to find any missing value when given probability and other standard values.

Example: When probability is less than 0.5, use the inverse probability method to find Z-values.

Page 6: Correlation and Regression Analysis

This section focuses on Interpreting correlation and regression in mathematical studies, explaining the relationship between variables and regression line calculations.

Definition: PMCC (Pearson's Moment Correlation Coefficient) measures correlation strength between -1 and +1.

Vocabulary: Extrapolation refers to predicting values outside the data range, which can be unreliable.

Page 7: Confidence Intervals

This final page covers confidence interval calculations and their interpretation in statistical analysis.

Definition: Confidence intervals provide a range within which we believe the true population parameter lies.

Example: For an 80% confidence interval, use Z = 1.2816 from the standard normal table.

Highlight: Sample size affects the width of confidence intervals through the standard error calculation.
