Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that in year 1900, the mean life expectancy is 47.6 years for whites and 33 years for nonwhites. (Click here for reference data) Suppose a survey of randomly selected death records for white and nonwhite people born in 1900 from a certain county is conducted. Of the 110 whites surveyed, the mean life span was 48.2 years with a standard deviation of 11.2 years and of the 95 nonwhites, the mean life span was 39.3 years with a standard deviation of 16 years. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to determine whether there was no difference in mean life spans in the county for whites and nonwhites in year 1900. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume thatnw≤5% of all white people born in 1900 andnnw≤5% of all nonwhite people born in 1900? No Yes Is nw≥30 and nnw≥30 ?
