The probability that a patient recover from a rare blood disease
is 0.6. It is known that 100 people have contracted this
disease. It is desired to find the probability that less than
one half survive. For easier computations, normal distribution
is used to approximate this binomial distribution. Find the
value of the standard deviation to be used in the computation.
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.
