Lengths (in inches) of trout in a stream are normally distributed with a mean of 11.8 and a standard deviation of 1.5. Find the following. Round to one decimal if needed. a. The cutoff (in inches) for the top 30% of trout lengths: b. Out of a random sample of 83 trout, how many you would expect to be between 10.9 and 12.25 inches: c. The percentile of a trout of length 10.9 inches:
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.
