Change the intervals and compare the differences Distribution Data can be "distributed" in many different ways To the left To the right All jumbled Normal Distribution Many times, data is "distributed" around a certain value with NO BIAS Characteristics of "Normal Distribution" Has a bell shaped curve The mean is the center of the bell curve Symmetrical at the mean The mean, median, and mode are USUALLY the same value The area under the curve represents 100% of the data collected 50% of collected data is on the left of the mean 50% of collected data is on the right of the mean Not all bell curves have the exact same shape Summary: When is a group of values considered "normal?" When is a group of values not normal? 3

Graff Frau Example 1 Find the mean (average) time. Then, plot the numbers on the number line below. Graff on top, Frau on bottom What can be said about the two groups of data? Data Spread Standard Deviation Since not all data values are the same, we need to consider how "spread out" is the data in normal distributions Standard deviation is the proper math vocab. for "data spread" The "more spread out," the higher the standard deviation Green would have the HIGHEST standard deviation since it is the MOST spread out (left and right) Example 2 Write a description about the difference between Mrs. Graff's and Mrs. Frau's classes Summary: 6

Find the average 2. Subtract the average from EVERY value 3. Square that number 4. Add them together 5. Divide by how many data points you found 6. Take the square root Example 1 Mr. Pieroni bought 8 different boyband CDs at Zia Records last weekend. Find the mean and standard deviation cost of boyband CDs. $6.50 $7.00 $8.25 $6.80 $9.10 $7.25 $5.00 $7.00 Example 2 Yesterday we said that Mrs. Graff's class data was less spread out than Mrs. Frau's.

The mean was 22 seconds with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. How many trial runs took longer than 22 seconds? How many trial runs ended between 19 seconds and 25 seconds? Summary: 13
