Suppose that the number of hours that an adult watches in a day has a mean of 2.4 hours and a standard deviation of .7 hours. (Class videos for drawing the diagrams are located in Module 6, 7 and 8). a. Draw a diagram of the distribution according to the empirical rule. Then use that information give ranges for the following values: i. The middle 68% ii. The middle 95% iii. The middle 99.7%
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.
