A Normal Distribution
Normal Distribution Curve
1.The total area under the curve is equal to 1 (100%) .
2.About 68% of the area under the curve falls within 1
standard deviation.
3. About 95% of the area under the curve falls within 2
standard deviations.
4. About 99.7% of the area under the curve falls within
3 standard deviations.
Normal Distribution
Properties:
1. Bell-shaped curve
2. The mean, median and
mode are equal. -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
3. It is unimodal.
4. It is symmetrical about the mean.
5. It is continuous.
6. It is asymptotic to the x-axis.
7. The total area under the curve is 1.00 or 100%

In the final examination in Mathematics the
mean grade was 82 and the standard deviation
was 8. In English the mean grade was 86 and
standard deviation was 10. Joseph scored 88 in
Mathematics and 92 in English. In which his
standing higher?
If the score is normally distributed
with a mean of 30 and standard
deviation of 5, what percent of the

Problem Set
1. A researcher studies the diesel consumption of
traditionally manufactured motorcycles sold in
the Philippines . The data taken at random and
normally distributed resulted to an average
consumption of 25 kilometers in a liter and a
standard deviation of 3 kilometers.
What percentage of the motorcycle consumes
a. 29 or more kilometers in a liter?
b. between 19 to 22 kilometer in a liter?

is 80% with the standard deviation of
6%. Assume the data is normally
distributed. Find the percentage and
number of students who obtained:
a.) 83% or higher
b.) 75% to 86%
