The Normal Distribution
Normal distribution curve
• A normal distribution curve is standardized as follows:
Normal distribution curve
• When a normal distribution curve has been standardized, the normal curve
is called a standardized normal curve or a normal probability curve,
• Any normally distributed data may be represented by the same normal
probability curve
• The area under part of a normal probability curve is directly proportional to
probability and the value of the shaded area can be determined by
evaluating:

Example
1.The mean height of 500 people is 170 cm, and the standard deviation is 9
cm. Assuming the heights are normally distributed, determine the number
of people likely to have heights between 150 cm and 195 cm.
2.For the group of people given in Problem 1, find the number of people likely
to have heights of less than 165 cm
3.For the group of people given in Problem 1 find how many people are likely
to have heights of more than 194 cm.
Example
4.A batch of 1500 lemonade bottles have an average contents of 753 ml and the
standard deviation of the contents is 1.8 ml. If the volumes of the contents are
normally distributed, find
(a)the number of bottles likely to contain less than 750 ml,
(b)the number of bottles likely to contain between 751 and 754 ml,
(c)the number of bottles likely to contain more than 757 ml, and
(d)the number of bottles likely to contain between 750 and 751 ml.
Example
5.500 tins of paint have a mean content of 1010 ml and the standard deviation
of the contents is 8.7 ml. Assuming the volumes of the contents are
normally distributed, calculate the number of tins likely to have contents
whose volumes are less than (a) 1025 ml (b) 1000 ml and (c) 995 ml.
Example
• Lithium-ion batteries are the best option for solar panels due to their longer
lifespan and larger solar energy storage capacity. Consider a battery with a 𝟓
year expected lifespan and a standard deviation of 1.5 years that is normally
distributed. Find the probability that a particular battery will last between
3.5 and 7.25
