2. To Calculate the Area under a Normal Curve
A. Method 1 using normalcdf
2nd DISTR (move cursor to 2: normalcdf) ENTER
Syntax: normalcdf (Za ,Zb ) → area between Za and Zb
normalcdf (a, b, μ, σ) → area between a and b use – 1E99 for left extreme (or –99) and 1E99 for right extreme (or 99)
e.g., normalcdf ( – 1E99, b, μ, σ) → area to left of b normalcdf (a, 1E99, μ, σ) → area to right of a
B. Method 2 using ShadeNorm ( Za , Zb )
i) Set WINDOW values:
Xmin = −3 ← Xmin = μ − 3σ = 0− 3×1
Xmax = 3 ← Xmax = μ + 3σ = 0+ 3×1
Ymax = 0.4 ← Xmax = 0.4 ÷ σ = 0.4 ÷1
Ymin = −0.1 ← Ymin = −(Ymax ÷ 4) allows room for text

C. Method 3 using ShadeNorm (a, b, μ , σ) Example: find the probability that a person has an IQ < 120 given the
mean IQ is 100, with standard derviation 15.
i) CALCULATE WINDOW VALUES, (using μ and σ)
μ = 100, σ = 15
Xmin = μ – 3σ = 100 – 3 × 15 = 55
Xmax = μ + 3σ = 100 + 3 × 15 = 145
Xmax = 0.4 ÷ σ = 0.4 ÷ 15 ≈ 0.03
Ymin = −(Ymax ÷ 4) = −(0.03) ÷ 4 ≈ – 0.01
ii) Clear previous normal curve:
See step (ii) in Method II.
ClrDraw Done
iii) Draw the normal curve:
2nd DISTR DRAW ENTER
ShadeNorm (– 1E99, 120, 100, 15) ENTER
,
Syntax: ShadeNorm (a, b, μ, σ)
use a = – 1E99 for left extreme → area to left of b
use b = 1E99 for right extreme → area to right of a
Note: You can also use –99 and 99 for the left and right extremes.

3. To Calculate Z-score for a Standard Normal Distribution
A. Method 1 Using invNorm (area)
x − uσ
= Z → Z = invNorm (area)
2nd DISTR (move cursor to) invNorm ENTER (enter value) ENTER
Note: the area is for a Normal Curve.
B. Method 2 Using invNorm (area, μ, σ )
2nd DISTR (move cursor to) invNorm ENTER (enter values) ENTER
Enter z-score area, then μ = mean , σ = standard deviation
Note: the area is for a Standard Normal Curve.
Note: area is zero at – 1E99 and one at 1E99, therefore, area varies from left to right between
zero and one.

5.1 Mean, Median and Mode
Statistics is a field of Mathematics dealing with the collecting and summarizing of data. Once the data has been gathered, the information is evaluated and analyzed so that a decision based on these measurable events can be made. Society in general depends to a great extent on our ability to evaluate information, determine what is true, and make correct decisions. It is amusing to remember the famous words of Mark Twain when interpreting information, “There are three kinds of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Mean, Median and Mode
Mean, median and mode are all measures of central tendency or average. These represent, respectively, “average,” “centre” and “most frequent” of the data gathered. Mean — The mean is computed by adding a set of values and dividing by the total number of values.
x = mean of a sample, μ = mean of the whole population.
i) μ =
x1 + x2 + x3 +…+ xn
n • basic mean formula
ii) μ =
xii=1

∑n
• mean using sigma notation
iii) μ =

• mean using group distribution
fi = frequency
Note: the sum of n numbers with a mean of μ is Sn = n μ .
Example 1 Determine the mean of: 1, 6, 3, 8, 9, 3
Solution:▼ μ = 1+ 6 + 3+ 8+ 9 + 3
6 = 5

100 ≤ x < 110 11
110 ≤ x < 120 5
120 ≤ x < 130 2
130 ≤ x < 140 1
Solution:▼ Method 1
Midpoint of class limits are 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135
x = 2 × 85+ 9 × 95+11×105+ 5×115+ 2 ×125+1×135

Example 3 10 numbers have a mean of 37. If one number is removed, the mean is 38. What was the number that was removed?
Solution:▼ Sum of 10 numbers: S10 = 10 × 37 = 370
Sum of 9 numbers: S9 = 9 × 38 = 342
Removed number was: 370 – 342 = 28

Median — The median is the middle value in an odd number of values. In an even number of values, the
median is the mean of the two middle values. Before one can find this point, the data must be arranged in order.
By formula, the median is the n +1
2 term.
Example 1 Odd number of values:
7
5
4 ← Median = 4
2
1
Solution:▼ 5 terms, so the median is 5+1
2= 3rd term
Example 2 Even number of values:
2
3
4
7 }← Median =
4 + 7
2 = 5.5
7
8
Solution:▼ 6 terms, so the median is 6 +1
2= 3.5 , therefore, median =
3rd term + 4th term

Example 3 For 30 randomly selected high school students, the following IQ frequency distribution was obtained. Determine the median.
Class Limits Frequency
80 ≤ x < 90 2
90 ≤ x < 100 9
100 ≤ x < 110 11
110 ≤ x < 120 5
120 ≤ x < 130 2
130 ≤ x < 140 1

Median
Solution:▼ Method 1
By formula, the median term is n +1
2= 30 +1
2= 15.5
So, the median is 15th term + 16th term
2.
Both the 15th term and 16th term are found in the interval 100 ≤ x < 110 so the median is 105.

L2 ENTER (move cursor down to Med)
Mode — The mode is the value that occurs most often in a set of values. If all values are equal in frequency,
then there is no mode; there can be multiple modes if same values occur equally often.
Example 1 What is the mode of the following data set?
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3
Solution:▼ Both 1 and 2 have a frequency of 3, therefore the modes are 1 and 2.
Example 2 For 30 randomly selected high school students, the following IQ frequency distribution was obtained. Determine the mode.
Class Limits Frequency
80 ≤ x < 90 2
90 ≤ x < 100 9
100 ≤ x < 110 11
110 ≤ x < 120 5
120 ≤ x < 130 2
130 ≤ x < 140 1
Solution:▼ The range 100 ≤ x <110 has frequency of 11, so the mode is 105.

5.2 Standard Deviation
Consider the following question: 30 students are in the same Math and English classes; the mean for a test in Math and a test in English is 50%. If Mari scored 60% in Math and 70% in English, in which class did she do better compared to other students in the two classes? The answer to this question is that you cannot tell because you don’t know the spread or dispersion of test scores about the mean in the two classes. The value that measures the spread or dispersion of data about the mean is called standard deviation. The standard deviation is based on the deviations from the mean. We square the difference between each value and the mean. This squaring eliminates negative numbers. We then total the squared deviations, and divide the total by the number of values. The square root of this value is the standard deviation
Standard Deviation Definition σ = Greek symbol (sigma) for standard deviation of population.
σ = sum of the squares of the differences from the mean

Example 1 Calculate the standard deviation from the following sets of values:
a) 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 b) 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
Solution:▼ Method 1 (by formula)
1. a) First find the mean: μ = 5+ 6 + 7 + 8+ 9
5 = 7
σ = 15 [(5− 7)2 + (6− 7)2 + (7 − 7)2 + (8− 7)2 + (9− 7)2 ]
=15 (4 +1+ 0 +1+ 4)
= 2
or
σ = 15 (52 + 62 + 72 + 82 + 92 )− 72
=15 (25+ 36 + 49 + 64 + 81)− 49
= 51− 49
= 2
1. b) First find the mean: μ = 3+ 5+ 7 + 9 +11
5 = 7
σ = 15 [(3− 7)2 + (5− 7)2 + (7 − 7)2 + (9− 7)2 + (11− 7)2 ]
=15 (16+ 4 + 0 + 4 +16)
= 2 2
or
σ = 15 (32 + 52 + 72 + 92 +112 )− 72
=15 (9+ 25+ 49 + 81+121)− 49
= 57 − 49
= 2 2
Notice that (3, 5, 7, 9, 11) are two units apart compared to one unit apart for (5, 6, 7, 8, 9). So the standard deviation is twice as large.

5.3 The Normal Distribution
If you gathered data from experiments such as the height, weight and test scores of individuals, it would follow a set pattern. This pattern, called a normal distribution, is extremely important because you only need the mean and standard deviation to complete the entire distribution. Important characteristics of the Normal Curve
• It is bell shaped and symmetric about the mean. • The enclosed area always equals one. • The probability that an event happens equals the area under the normal curve. • The standard deviation is related to the area under the curve. • The curve will never touch the x-axis but extends to infinity in both directions. • The mean, median and mode are always the same.
Two normal curves with the same standard deviation, but different means.

Z-score of Standard Normal Curve
There are many different possible normal curves with different values of μ and σ. By transforming each score into a z-score, which is a measure of how far a value is from the mean, the z-scores will fit the standard normal curve with μ = 0 and σ = 1 .
Definition
Z = difference between x and μ
standard deviation= x − μ
σ
Z: number of standard deviations that x is away from the mean μ
μ: mean x : a particular score σ : standard deviation
Note that there are just as many negative z-scores (when x < μ) as there are positive z-scores.
Standard Normal Curve
The value under the curve indicates that approximate proportion of area in each section. Note that over 68% of the data are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, and over 95% of the data are within 2 standard deviations. Relating Normal Curve and Standard Normal Curve

Example 2 The grade point average at Penticton Secondary is 2.6, with a standard deviation of 0.5. If the top 10% of all students are eligible to attend U.B.C., what is the minimum G.P.A. needed to attend U.B.C.? (Top 10% means that 90% will be less than the minimum G.P.A.)
Solution:▼
P( X ≤ 2.6) = P Z < x − 2.6

x − 2.6
0.5= Inverse Z0.9
Method 1 (by table)
Go to the Standard Normal Distribution Table and locate the closest value to 0.9 which is 0.8997. Once the closest number is found, read the value in the left column and top row to find the z-score value. The z-score for 0.8997 is 1.28.
Therefore, x − 2.6
0.5= 1.28 → x = 3.24. So, a G.P.A. of 3.24 is needed to go to U.B.C.
Method 2 (by TI-83 Calculator)

5.4 Confidence Interval for Means
The concept of confidence intervals has to be one of the most important theories in all of statistics. A person often hears statements like:
• 1 of 5 Canadians is currently dieting • the life expectancy of smokers is five years less than non-smokers • the average teacher makes $43 000 a year
with results accurate to within two points, 19 times out of 20. Not every person in Canada is surveyed to obtain these results. One must then ask how many people were in the survey, and how accurate are the results. Sample measures are used to estimate population measures.
Confidence interval is defined as a specific interval estimate of the whole population by using information obtained from a sample, and the specific confidence level of the estimate.
It may be reasoned that the mean of the sample x should be centered about the mean of the whole population
μ. Because x is a single number, it is called a point estimate of the population mean μ. When the point estimate x is complete, the accuracy of the estimate is not really known. Statisticians have developed a method of taking a sample, and the standard normal distribution curve, to make an accurate estimate of the whole population.
