Normal DistributionNormal Distribution

Normal distribution is perhaps the most important from amongst all the continuous distributions. This is because a large number of physical phenomena follow normal distribution.

Suppose, in a college, there are 3,264 male students. Their mean height and S.D. of heights are respectively, 64.4 and 2.4 inches.

The following table provided the frequency distribution of all the male students:

Approximate Normal DistributionApproximate Normal Distribution

In reality, most of the normal variables are actually “approximately normal”.

Though they are approximately normal, but still we apply the theory of normal distribution.

With continuous distribution, probabilities of outcomes occurring between particular points are determined by calculating the area under the curve between those points.

For plant B, what is the probability that a randomly selected employee’s length of service will be between 22 and 25 years?

There are infinite number of normal distributions for infinite number of combination of values of (µ and σ).

Fortunately, we can transform all normal distributions to a single normal distribution,

called standard normal distribution.

1. Above is the way to standardize all the normal variables.

2. Z represents number of S.D.s away from the mean.

3. Standard normal variable has zero mean and S.D. = 1.

Example 1: Let us state the previous problem again. The mean length of

service of the employees in Plant B = 20 years with S.D. = 3.9 years. What is the probability that a randomly selected employee’s length of service lies between mean and 22 years?

Example 2: What is the probability that a randomly selected employee’s length of service is less than 22 years? [z=0.51, p=0.195+0.50 = 0.695]

Page 27: Chapter 7 NPD

7- 27

Example 3: What is the probability of obtaining a length of service

greater than 26 years? [Ans: z=1.54; p=0.5-0.4382=0.0618]

Example 4: What is the probability that the length of service will be less

than 19 years? [Ans: z=-0.26; p=0.50-0.1026=0.3974]

Page 28: Chapter 7 NPD

7- 28

Example 5: What is the probability that the length of service lie between

16 and 23 years? [Ans: z=-1.03, 0.77; 0.3485+0.2794=0.6279]

Example 6: What is the probability that the length of service will lie between 17-19 years? [z=-0.77, z=0.26; p=0.2794-0.1026=0.1768]

Example 7: The Federal Reserve System publishes data on family income

based on its Survey of Customer Finances. When the head of the household has a college degree, the mean before-tax family income is $70,400. Suppose that 60% of the before-tax family incomes when the head of the household has a college degree are between $61,200 and $79,600 and that these incomes are normally distributed. What is the standard deviation of before-tax family incomes when the head of the household has a college degree?

Example 8: A tire manufacturer wishes to set a minimum mileage guarantee

on its new MX 100 tire. Tests reveal the mean mileage is 68,500 with a standard deviation of 2125 miles and a normal distribution. The manufacturer wants to set the minimum guaranteed mileage so that no more than 5 percent of the tires will have to be replaced. What minimum guaranteed mileage should the manufacturer announce?
