Front

What does a positive z-score indicate?

Back

A positive z-score indicates that the value is above the mean.

Front

What does a negative z-score indicate?

Back

A negative z-score indicates that the value is below the mean.

Front

What is the mean in a normal distribution?

Back

The mean is the average of all data points in a normal distribution and is the center of the distribution.

Front

What is the standard deviation in a normal distribution?

Back

The standard deviation measures the dispersion or spread of the data points around the mean in a normal distribution.

Front

What is the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule)?

Back

The empirical rule states that in a normal distribution: about 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% within 2 standard deviations, and 99.7% within 3 standard deviations.

Front

How do you find the area under the normal curve?

Back

The area under the normal curve can be found using the standard normal table (Table A) or by calculating z-scores and using statistical software.

Front

What is the purpose of the standard normal table?

Back

The standard normal table provides the area (probability) to the left of a given z-score in a standard normal distribution.
