Total area under a normal distribution curve is equal to:

Empirical Rule otherwise known as the ___-___-_____ Rule

Example: 95% of the students in Mrs.
Brown 1st grade class are between 1.1m
and 1.7m tall.

Assuming that the data is normally
distributed, what is the mean and standard
distribution?

Standard Normal Distribution occurs when:

Example: Suppose SAT scores of the math 68% of students have scores between ______ and ______
portion (range of 200-800) roughly follows 95% of students have scores between ______ and ______
the normal distribution of US college-
bound students. The average math SAT is 99.7% of students have scores between ______ and ______
500 with a standard deviation of 50.

Z =

Negative z-scores Positive z-scores

Example: What is the probability of getting

a SAT math score of 575 or less? The
average SAT is 500 with a standard
deviation of 50.
