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 tw…

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 o…

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 compar…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 3CRE

In Exercises 1–3, use the following service times (in seconds) observed at lunchtime at different fast-food restaurant drive-up windows. Assume that the service times for such restaurants are normally distributed.

3. Restaurant Service Times. Using the samples of service times from all three restaurants, we obtain the analysis of variance results shown in Figure 10.7. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three restaurants have the same mean service time.

Chapter 10, Problem 3CRE, In Exercises 13, use the following service times (in seconds) observed at lunchtime at different

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.
