Lesson: Normal Distribution Mathematics

Students will be able to

• understand the normal distribution and which conditions are needed to be able to apply it,
• understand and use the shape and symmetry of the normal distribution as well as key facts relating to the mean and standard deviation in order to calculate probabilities,
• calculate probabilities using the normal distribution given the mean and standard deviation of a data set,
• use normal distribution tables to find probabilities that correspond to a specific -scores,
• calculate values of random variables using the normal distribution, given probabilities and parameters of a data set,
• calculate the unknown mean and/or standard deviation of a data set given probabilities of random variables that are normally distributed.
