  1. AP StatisticsMonday, August 29, 2011 • Density Curves PowerPoint • HW: 2.9 – 2.13 • QUIZ THURSDAY!

  2. AP STATS - Chapter 2Density Curvesand Normal Probability Distributions

  3. Sampling Distribution (Histogram) and Density Curve (Red Curve)

  4. Density Curves • A density curve describes the overall pattern of a distribution. • We will use the smooth curve to describe what proportions of the observations fall in each range of values, not the counts of observations. • Areas under the curve represent proportions of the observations. • Total area under the curve is exactly 1.

  5. Various Density Curves

  6. Uniform Population Model Total area under the curve (model) will always equal 1.

  8. What does a population that is normally distributed look like?  = 80 and  = 10 X 50 60 70 80 90 100 110

  9. Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7% RULE 68% 95% 99.7%

  10. EmpiricalRule — restated 68% of the data values fall within 1standard deviation of the mean in either direction 95% of the data values fall within 2standard deviation of the mean in either direction 99.7% of the data values fall within 3standard deviation of the mean in either direction Remember values in a data set must appear to be a normal bell-shaped histogram, dotplot, or stemplot to use the Empirical Rule!

  12. Average American adult male height is 69 inches (5’ 9”) tall with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.

  13. Empirical Rule-- Let H~N(69, 2.5) What is the likelihood that a randomly selected adult male would have a height less than 69 inches? Answer: P(h < 69) = .50 P represents Probability h represents one adult male height

  16. AP StatisticsFriday, September 2, 2011 • Standard Normal Distribution (non calculator) • Number of finger taps in 1 minute • Calculate class mean and standard deviation • Read article about Pujols • HW: 2.1, 2.3, 2.29, 2.31 – 2.33 • 3 DAY WEEKEND!!

  17. What is a z-score? Standardized values based on the population mean (µ) and standard deviation (α). Z ~ N (0, 1) # OF STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE (+) OR BELOW (-) THE MEAN

  18. Assuming X ~ N(66, 2), use the formula to calculate the corresponding z-scores for the x-values of 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 72.

  19. If we don’t know the values of x, but we know X ~ N(40, 4), then we can calculate the missing corresponding x-values when the z-score is –3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. Remember Z ~N(0, 1).

  20. Example 1 Suppose the average height of freshmen at LHS is 60 inches with a standard deviation of 1.5 inches. What is the z-score for a freshman who has a height of • 58 inches? • 60.15 inches?

  21. Example 2 Suppose the average height of sophomores at LHS is 62 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches. What is the height of the sophomore (x-value) that corresponds to a • z-score = 0? • z-score = -2.44? • z-score = 3.1?

  22. Example 3 Suppose the average height of juniors at LHS is unknown but the standard deviation is 2.5 inches. What is the population mean height of juniors if • a junior 66 inches tall corresponds to a z-score of -.75?

  23. Example 4 Suppose the height of seniors at LHS is 67 inches but the standard deviation is unknown. What is the standard deviation knowing • a senior 68.5 inches tall has a corresponding z-score of .87? • a senior 63 inches tall has a corresponding z-score of –2.43? (This resulting population standard deviation should be different from the answer to a.)

  24. Example 5 An incoming freshman took her college’s placement exams in French and math. In French, she scored 82 and in math, 86. The overall results on the French exam had a mean of 72 and a standard deviation of 8, while the mean math score was 76 with a standard deviation 12. On which exam did she do better RELATIVE to her classmates?

  25. Using the z table (pink sheet) Find the following probabilities: • P(z < 1) 2. P(z < 0) 3. P(z < 1.5) 4. P(z > 1.5) 5. P(2.3 < z < 3.1)

  26. Why do we use z-scores? To answer questions such as… 1. Suppose teachers at LHS have an age distribution X ~ N(40, 8). What is the likelihood that a randomly selected teacher from this population would have an age of 24 or younger?

  27. Why do we use z-scores? 2. Assuming the same distribution exists for age of teachers at LHS, how likely is it for a randomly selected teacher from LHS to be older than 50 years of age?

  28. Why do we use z-scores? 3. Again using the same teacher age distribution at LHS, what is the probability that a randomly selected teacher’s age would fall somewhere between 34 and 50 years of age?

  29. Why do we use z-scores? 4. Again using the same teacher age distribution at LHS, at what age do 25% of the teachers fall below?

  30. AP StatisticsTuesday, September 5, 2011 • Standard Normal Distribution (calculator) • Turn on / Link “Catalog Help” 2nd VARS (DIST) (gives you a list of distributions we will use) 2:normalcdf( lower bound, upper bound [, µ, α] 3:invNorm( area [, µ, α] Area to the LEFT • HW: Worksheet

  31. Z-Scores on the CALCULATOR 1. Suppose teachers at LHS have an age distribution X ~ N(40, 8). What is the likelihood that a randomly selected teacher from this population would have an age of 24 or younger?

  32. Z-Scores on the CALCULATOR 2. Assuming the same distribution exists for age of teachers at LHS, how likely is it for a randomly selected teacher from LHS to be older than 50 years of age?

  33. Z-Scores on the CALCULATOR 3. Again using the same teacher age distribution at LHS, what is the probability that a randomly selected teacher’s age would fall somewhere between 34 and 50 years of age?

  34. Z-Scores on the CALCULATOR 4. Again using the same teacher age distribution at LHS, at what age do 25% of the teachers fall below?

  35. Z-Scores on the CALCULATOR 5. Again using the same teacher age distribution at LHS, at what age do 10% of the teachers fall above?
