Normal Probability Distribution

A normal distribution is symmetric.

• True

• False

The normal probability distribution is completely described by its mean and ________.

• variance

• standard deviation

• range

• mean deviation

The standard normal probability distribution has mean of 0 and a standard deviation of _____.

Any normal probability distribution can be converted to the standard normal probability distribution by the following formula

By standardizing a normal probability distribution, we can report the distance of a value from the mean in units of the __________ .

• median

• standard deviation

• variance

• mode

The signed distance between a selected value, designated X, and the mean, μ, divided by the standard deviation, σ.

• p value

• z value

• r value

• t value

• 1

• -1

• 0
