 Understanding Normal Curve Distribution

Introduction

Normal Probability Distribution is a probability distribution of a

continuous random variable. It shows graphical representations of random
variables obtained through measurement like the height and weight of the
students, the percentile ranks of the A&E (Accreditation and Equivalency)
Test results of the ALS students or any data with the values of interval
scales of real numbers. It is also used to describe the characteristics of
populations and making inferences. This graphical representation is
popularly known as a normal curve.

Properties of the Normal Distribution (Bell Curve)

1. The normal curve is bell shaped.

2. The peak of a normal curve is at the center where the three measures
of central tendency such as mean, mode, and median are equal to
each other.
3. The curve is symmetric at the center (i.e. around the mean, µ).
4. The tails are plotted on both directions of the normal curve and are
asymptotic with the horizontal axis. Asymptote means a graph is
approaching to the specific line but without touching it.
5. The total area of the normal curve is 1.

The shape of a normal curve is based on two given parameters, the

mean and the standard deviation of the distribution. The following are the
three situations of a normal curve based on the said parameters.

a. When the mean is equal but the standard deviations are not equal.
(µ1 ≠ µ2; ơ1 =ơ2 ), the curves have similar shapes but centered at
different points.

b. When the mean is equal, but the standard deviations are not equal.
(µ1 = µ2; ơ1 ≠ ơ2), the curves are entered at the same point but they
have different height and spreads.

c. When the mean is different and the standard deviations are also
different (µ1≠ µ2; ơ1 ≠ ơ2), The curves are entered at different points
and vary in shapes.

4
 The normal curve is also described through the equation written below

𝑋−µ
𝑒 (−1/2)(2
)^2
𝑌=
ơ√2𝜋

where: Y = height of the curve with particular values of

random variables
X= any values of the random variables
µ = population mean
ơ = standard deviation
π = 3.1416
e = 2.7183

When the normal probability distribution has a mean µ = 0 and

standard deviation ơ = 1, it is called as Standard Normal Distribution.

How to construct a standard normal curve

In constructing a normal curve, always remember its properties as

follows:

1. It should be bell-shaped and symmetric about its center.

2. Both sides of the tails of a normal curve should not touch the
horizontal axis.
3. In the horizontal axis, use 0 at the center where the mean is
located and use 1, 2, and 3 to the right and -1, -2 and -3 to the
left, but not limited to the -3 and 3, it is extended indefinitely.
4. The distance between the number in the horizontal line or the x-
axis should always be proportion.

 Figure 1 Constructing a Normal Curve

The Empirical Rule

Figure 2 The 68%-95%-99.7% Rule

The above diagram shows the representation of 68% - 95% - 99.7%

Rule. The 68% -95% - 99.7% Rule is better known as Empirical Rule. This
Rule states that the data in the distribution lies within the 1, 2, and 3
standard deviations from the mean. Specifically, the above diagram tells the
estimation of the following percentage:
 68% of data lies within the 1 standard deviation from the mean.
 95% of data lies within the 2 standard deviation from the mean.
 99.7% of data lies within the 3 standard deviation from the
mean

6
Illustrative Example 1:

The scores of the Senior High School students in the Statistics and
Probability quarterly examination are normally distributed with a mean of
35 and standard deviation of 5.

a. What percent will fall within the scores 30 to 40?

b. What scores fall within 95% of the distribution?

Solution:
Draw a standard normal curve and plot the mean at the center. Then,
add three times the given standard deviation to the right of the mean and
subtract 3 times to the left.
The illustration is provided below:

a) The scores 30 to 40 fall within the first standard deviation from the
mean. Therefore, it is approximately 68% of the distribution.
b) Since 95% lies within the 2 standard deviations from the mean,
then the corresponding scores of this distribution are from 25 up
to 45.

Illustrative Example 2:
The district nurse of Panabo National High School needs to
measure the BMI (Body Mass Index) of the ALS students. She
found out that the heights of male students are normally
distributed with a mean of 160 cm and a standard deviation of 7
cm. Find the percentage of male students whose height is within
153 to 174.

7
Solution: µ =160

To the left To the right

160 - 7 = 153 160 + 7 = 167
153 – 7 = 146 167 + 7 = 174
146 – 7 = 139 174 + 7 = 181

As stated in the above diagram, 153 falls at 1 standard deviation from

the mean to the left of the center and the height of 174 falls at 2 standard
deviations from the mean to the right. Therefore, it covers the whole 68%
and 13.5% of the distribution and the sum of it is 81.5%.

ANSWER: The height within 153 to 174 lies on the 81.5% of the distribution.

 Understanding the Z – Scores

Introduction

The value of the z -score tells you how many standard deviations you are
away from the mean. If a z -score is equal to 0, it is on the mean. A positive
z -score indicates the raw score is higher than the mean average.

In the previous lesson, we discussed the properties of the normal

probability distribution and one of them is the total area under the curve
which equal to one. Since the standard normal distribution is defined as
normally distributed random variable having a mean of zero ( µ= 0 ) and
standard deviation of one (ơ = 1), the fifty (50) percent of the region under
the curve is below the mean and the other 50% is above the mean. The
illustration is provided below.

We can easily identify the area of the regions under normal curve by
using the Table of Areas under the Normal Curve which is also known as Z-
Table (see attachment at the last page of this chapter). This table gives an
area to any value of z from -3.99 to 3.99. The value from this table will
describe the area of the specific region of the curve to the left of the given z-
value.

How to use the Table of Areas under the Normal Curve

Example: Find the area to the left of -1.69

Solution: First, split the given z-value into hundredths, we can find the
whole number and the tenths digit (-1.6) at the left side of the table while
the hundredths (0.09) located at the uppermost of the table. Then the
intersection of these numbers will be the area of the normal curve to the left
of the z-value.

9
Illustration:

Answer: The area to the left of z= -1.69 is 0.0455.

Steps on how to find the area that corresponds to z –value

1. Draw/sketch a normal curve and locate the given z-value on the

normal curve.
2. Shade the region of the curve according to the condition of z-value
whether it is below, above or between.
3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to find the
corresponding area.
4. Choose the appropriate operation based on step 2 and 3.
4.1. When the z-value is to the left or any related terms (e.g. below,
less than) just write the value we obtained in step 3.
4.2. When the z-value is to the right or any related terms (e.g. above,
greater than), subtract 1 by the obtained value in step 3.
4.3. When the shaded region is in between of the two z-value,
subtract the biggest by smallest value obtained in step 3.
5. Label the shaded region.

10
Example 1: Find the area that corresponds below z = -1.35

Solution:
Step 1. Draw/sketch a normal curve and locate the given z-value.

Step 2: Shade the region of the curve according to the condition of z-

value whether it is below, above or between.

Step 3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to find the
corresponding area

11
 The intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885.

Step 4. Choose the appropriate operation based on step 2 and 3

4.1 When the z-value is to the left or any related terms (e.g.
below, less than) just write the value we obtained in step 3.

Since the shaded region of the curve is to the left of the z= -1.35
and the intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885. Therefore,
the area of the shaded region is 0.0885.

Step 5. Label the shaded region.

12
Example 2: Find the area to the right of z = -1.35.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3.
The intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885.

Step 4.
Since the shaded region is to the right of z-value, we will
subtract 0.0885 to 1. The difference is 0.9115

Step 5

13
Example 3: Find the area between z = -1.30 and z = 2.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3. The value that corresponds to z= 1.3 is 0.0968 and z = 2 is 0.4772.

Step 4. Since the shaded region is within the two z-value, subtract
0.4772 by 0.0968. The difference is 0.3804.

14
Step 5. The area between z = -1.3 and z= 2 is 0.3804.

 Converting Raw Score to Standard Z– Score
Introduction

In this lesson, you will learn how to convert a normal random variable
X to standard normal variable z and vice-versa. Moreover, this self-learning
kit in this particular lesson, will enable you to solve real-life problems. In
solving real-life problems involving the normal curve, it is very important to
convert a random variable x to a standard normal variable or z-score. This
procedure is known as “standardizing” or “standardization” of a random
variable, where a standardized value is called a z-score. A z-score is a
measure of the number of standard deviations (𝜎) a particular data value is
away from the mean (𝜇).

Suppose your score on a test in Probability and Statistics is 39 and

the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 33 and standard
deviation of 3, then your score is exactly 2 standard deviations above the
mean. If you scored 30, then it is exactly 1 standard deviation below the
mean. All values that are above the mean have positive z-scores and all
values that are below the mean have negative z-scores. If you obtained a z-
score of -3, this means that your score is 3 standard deviations below the
mean, that is, 33 – 3(3) = 33 – 9 = 24.
Given any value of x from a normal distribution with mean 𝜇 and
standard deviation 𝜎, to convert x to a z-score (standard normal score), you
need to:
(a) Subtract the mean 𝜇 from x.
(b) Divide this quantity, x , by the standard deviation 𝜎.

In equation, a z-score is defined as:

𝑥− 𝜇
z= 𝜎
where: z – standard normal score or z – score
x – any data value in a normal distribution
𝜇 - mean
𝜎 - standard deviation

Example 1.

Suppose IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and

standard deviation of 10. If your IQ is 85, what is your z-score?

Solution:
The z-score can be computed using the formula;
𝑥− 𝜇
z=
𝜎
85−100 −15
z= = = 1.5
10 10

16
Example 2.

With a nationwide placement test that is normally distributed, the

mean was 125 and standard deviation was 15. If you scored 149, what was
your z-score?

Solution:
𝑥− 𝜇
Using the formula z = ,
𝜎
149−125
z= 15
24
= 15
= 1.60

Example 3.

The heights of teachers in Don Manuel A. Javellana National High

School are normally distributed with a mean of 150 cm and standard
deviation of 15 cm. The height of Sir Victor has a z-score of 3.25. What is
the actual height of Sir Victor?

Solution:
In this example, z-score is given while the normal random variable is
unknown. To solve for the normal random variable x,
𝑥− 𝜇
Derive the formula z = 𝜎 . Therefore,
x = z𝜎 + 𝜇
= 3.25(15 cm) + 150 cm
= 48.75 cm + 150 cm
= 198.75 cm

 Identifying Regions of Areas
Under the Normal Curve
Introduction
A normal distribution curve can be used as a probability distribution
curve for normally distributed variables. The area under the standard
normal distribution curve can also be thought of as a probability. That is, if
it were possible to select any Z value at random, the probability of choosing
one, say, at the left of 1.45, would be the same as the area under the curve
at the left of 1.45. In this case, the area is 0.9265. Therefore, the probability
of randomly selecting a z value at the left of 1.45 is 0.9265 or 92.65%. The
problems involving probabilities and percentiles are solved in the same
manner as finding the areas under a normal curve.

In finding probabilities, the following notations will be used:

(a) P(Z < z) – Probability at the left of z.

(b) P(Z > z) = 1 – P(Z < z) – Probability at the right of z
(c) P(a < z < b) – Probability of z that is in between two other z values a
and b.
(d) P(X< x) – Probability at the left of a normal random variable x
(e) P(X > x) – Probability at the right of a normal random variable x
(f) P(a < X < b) – Probability of a normal random variable X that is in
between two other normal random variables a and b.

Example 1.

Find the probabilities for each of the following:

(a) P(Z < 1.32)
(b) P(Z < -1.05)
(c) P(-0.75 < Z < 1.56)
(d) P(Z > -0.88

Solution:
(a) The probability P (Z < 1.32) means to find the area under the
normal curve at the left of z = 1.32. From the Z table, find the
intersection of the row 1.3 and the column 0.02. Thus, the probability
is 0.9066 or 90.66%.

18
(b) The probability P (Z < -1.05) is the same as the area under the
normal curve at the left of z = -1.05. From the table, the area is
0.1469. Thus, the probability is 0.1469 or 14.69%.

(c) The probability P(-0.75 < Z < 1.56) is the same as the area under
the normal curve between z values -0.75 and 1.56. To get the area,
subtract the area of z = -0.75 from the area of z = 1.56. Thus, P(-
0.75 < Z < 1.56) = P(Z < 1.56) – P(Z < -0.75) = 0.9406 – 0.2266 =
0.7140.

19
 (d) The probability P(Z > -0.88) is the same as the area under the
normal curve at the right of z = -0.88. To get the area, subtract the
area of z = -0.88 from 1. Thus, P(Z > -0.88) = 1 – P(Z < -0.88) = 1 –
0.1894 = 0.8106.

Example 2.

Let X be a normal random variable with mean 𝜇 = 15 and standard

deviation 𝜎 = 3. Find the following probabilities.

(a) P(X < 19)

(b) P(10 < X < 19)

Solutions:
(a) To find the probability, convert the normal random variable 19 to a
𝑥− 𝜇 19− 15 4
z-score. Thus, P(X < 19) = P(Z < 𝜎 ) = P(Z < 3 ) = P(Z < 3 ) = P(Z
< 1.33). From the table, the probability at the left of z = 1.33 is
equal to 0.9082 or 90.82%.

(a) To find the probability, convert the normal random variables 10

10−15 19−15
and 19 to z values. Thus, P(10 < X < 19) = P( 3 < 𝑍 < 3 ) = P(-
1.67 < Z < 1.33) = P(Z < 1.33) – P(Z < -1.67). From the table, we
have 0.9082 – 0.0475 = 0.8607.

These probabilities can also be applied in real-life problems.

20
Example 3.

The mean number of hours a Filipino worker spends on the computer

is 3.1 hours per workday. Suppose the spending time is normally
distributed with standard deviation of 0.5 hour, find the percentage of
workers who spend less than 3.5 hours on the computer assuming that the
variable is normally distributed.

Solution:
The percentage of workers who spend less than 3.5 hours is the same
as the area under the normal curve at the left of normal random variable 3.5
3.5−3.1
hours. Convert 3.5 to a z value. That is, z = 0.5 = 0.8. From the Z table,
area at the left of z = 0.8 is 0.7881. Thus, the percentage of workers who
spend less than 3.5 hours is 78.81%.

Example 4.

Each month, a Filipino household generates an average of 28 pounds

of newspaper for garbage or recycling. Assume that the distribution is
normal with standard deviation of 2 pounds. If a household is selected at
random, find the probability of generating:

a. between 27 and 31 pounds per month

b. more than 30.2 pounds per month

21
Solutions:
(a) The probability of generating between 27 and 31 pounds is P(27 <
27−28 31−28
𝑋 < 31). This is equal to P( 2 < Z < 2 ) = P(-0.5 < Z < 1.50) =
P(Z < 1.50) – P(Z < -0.5) = 0.9332 – 0.3085 = 0.6247. Thus, the
probability of generating between 27 and 31 pounds of newspaper
per month is 0.6247 or 62.47%.

(b) The probability of generating more than 30.2 pounds per month is
equivalent to P(X > 30.2) which is equal to 1 – P(X < 30.2) since it
30.2−28
is right tailed. 1 – P(X < 30.2) = 1 – P(Z < 2 ) = 1 – P(Z < 1.10) =
1 – 0.8643 = 0.1357. Thus, the probability of generating more than
30.2 pounds of newspaper per month is 0.1357 or 13.57%.

22
 Let Us Practice More
Directions: Read the following problem carefully. Use Empirical Rule to
answer each question.
1. IQ scores of the ALS students in the Division of Panabo City are
normally distributed with a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of
10. What percent of the distribution falls within the IQ scores of 100
to 130?

2. Find the area that corresponds to each of the following z values.

Sketch and label each curve.
a. to the right of z = 2.18
b. below z= -1.40
c. above z= 0.57

3. Solve the following problems.

a) Use the Table of Standard Normal distribution(below) to find the

probabilities of the following:
(a) P(Z < -1.45)
(b) P(0.5 < Z < 2.33)
(c) P(Z > 1.78)

b). The mean number of hours a Filipino worker spends on the

computer is 3.1 hours per workday. Assume that the standard
deviation is 0.5 hour and is normally distributed, how long does a
worker spend on the computer if his z-score is 1.25?

4. The weights of 1,000 children average 50 kg and the standard

deviation is 5 kg. How many children weigh between 40 kg and 55 kg?

23
 Let Us Remember

The normal distribution is a probability distribution. As with any

probability distribution, the proportion of the area that falls under the curve
between two points on a probability distribution plot indicates the
probability that a value will fall within that interval. Thus, the standard
normal distribution allows us to make comparisons across the infinitely
many normal distributions that exist in the world. Statistics and Probability
is very important in our lives especially to our researchers since it is a very
useful tool for them. Thus, it is applicable to all of us and so we have to
spare more time for this. “More time to spend in studying, more ken to
acquire.”
