The normal distribution is just one of the distributions to be discussed in this course. It is also considered
as the most important distribution in Statistics because it fits many real-life situations. This lesson will
bring us a deeper understanding of the normal distribution and its characteristics.

 with 80% level of attainment.

Before proceeding to our discussion, let us consider this activity that will give us ideas about our lesson.
Consider the random event of tossing four coins once, then follow these steps:
1. List all the possible outcomes using the tree diagram.
2. Determine the sample space.
3. Determine the possible values of the random variables.
4. Assign probability values P(X) to each of the random variable.
5. Construct a probability histogram to describe the P(X).

Answer the following guide questions:

1. How many possible outcomes are there?
2. What composes the sample space?
3. How will you describe the histogram?
D. Discussing new To give us a deeper understanding of the concept of the normal distribution, let us learn more about its
concepts and practicing properties.
new skills
The following are the properties that can be observed from the graph of a normal distribution, also known
as Gaussian distribution.

1. The graph is a continuous curve and has a domain -∞ < X < ∞.

• This means that X may increase or decrease without bound.

2. The graph is asymptotic to the x-axis. The value of the variable gets closer and closer but will never be
equal to 0.
• As the x gets larger and larger in the positive direction, the tail of the curve approaches but will never
touch the horizontal axis. The same thing when the x gets larger and larger in the negative direction.

3. The highest point on the curve occurs at x = μ (mean).

• The mean (μ) indicates the highest peak of the curve and is found at the center.
• Take note that the mean is denoted by this symbol μ and the standard deviation is denoted by this
symbol .
• The median and mode of the distribution are also found at the center
of the graph. This indicates that in a normal distribution, the mean, median and mode are equal.

4. The curve is symmetrical about the mean.

• This means that the curve will have balanced proportions when cut in halves and the area under the
curve to the right of mean (50%) is equal to the
area under the curve to the left of the mean (50%).

5. The total area in the normal distribution under the curve is equal to 1.
• Since the mean divides the curve into halves, 50% of the area is to the right and 50% to its left having a
total of 100% or 1.

6. In general, the graph of a normal distribution is a bell-shaped curve with two inflection points, one on
the left and another on the right. Inflection points are the points that mark the change in the curve’s
concavity.
• Inflection point is the point at which a change in the direction of curve at mean minus standard deviation
and mean plus standard deviation.
• Note that each inflection point of
the normal curve is one standard deviation away from the mean.

7. Every normal curve corresponds to the “empirical rule” (also called the 68 -
95 - 99.7% rule):
• about 68.3% of the area under the curve falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

• about 95.4% of the area under the curve falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean
 • about 99.7% of the area under the curve falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Consider the following examples:

1. Suppose the mean is 60 and the standard deviation is 5, sketch a normal curve for the distribution.
This is how it would look like.

2. A continuous random variable X is normally distributed with a mean of 45 and standard deviation of 6.
Illustrate a normal curve and find the probability of the following:
a. P (39 < X < 51) = 68.3% c. P (X > 45) = 50%
E. Developing Mastery

b. P (33 < X < 63) = 97.55% d. P (X < 39) = 15.85%

Students will answer this activity.

Directions: Read the following statements carefully. Write ND if the statement describes a characteristic

your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

F. Finding Practical 2. In a normal distribution, the mean, median and mode are of equal values.
Applications of 3. The normal curve gradually gets closer and closer to 0 on one side.
Concepts 4. The curve is symmetrical about the mean.
5. The distance between the two inflection points of the normal curve is equal to the value of the mean.
6. A normal distribution has a mean that is also equal to the standard deviation.
7. The two parameters of the normal distribution are the mean and the standard deviation.
8. The normal curve can be described as asymptotic.
