Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
![2) Diagnostic Tests: Uric Acid - Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown.
This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia or lymphoma. Over a period of months, an
adult male patient has taken eight blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was X= 5.35 mg/dl. The
distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal with a = 1.85 mg/dl
