Learning Objectives

As a result of completing this chapter, you will be able to do the following:

  • Describe the properties of a normal density curve (Section 5.2).
  • Describe the standard normal distribution (Section 5.3).
  • Use the standard normal table (Table II) in order to:
    • Determine the area bounded by some given values under any normal density curve (Section 5.5).
    • Find values that correspond to given areas under any normal density curve (Section 5.5).
  • Use a normal probability plot to assess whether a given data set seems to come from a normal population (Section 5.6).
