MORE EXAMPLES OF NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
USING PHSTAT
A set of final exam grades was found to be normally
distributed with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 8.
What is the probability of getting a grade no higher than 91
on this exam?
X N 73,8 2
P X 91 ? 8
Mean 73
Standard Deviation 8
Construct Charts
For small- or moderate-sized data sets, do the stem-and-
leaf display and box-and-whisker plot look symmetric?
For large data sets, does the histogram or polygon appear
bell-shaped?
Compute Descriptive Summary Measures
Do the mean, median and mode have similar values?
Is the interquartile range approximately 1.33 σ?
Is the range approximately 6 σ?
