CHAPTER 5

INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS

INSTRUCTIONS AND LESSON

 

 Chapter 5 introduces the normal probability distribution. This is an extremely important chapter! You can divide this chapter up into the following parts:

1.     Continuous probability distribution functions and the normal distribution

2.     Finding probabilities and scores using the standard normal distribution

3.     Understanding and applying the central limit theorem

You should read the chapter and take the links given below for more information on each of these parts. Once you are finished going through the chapter, you should complete the homework and take the link at the bottom to go on to chapter 6

 The Standard Normal Distribution (Section 5-2)

 Using z-scores to find probabilities and scores for non-standard normal distribution problems (section 5-3 and 5-4)

 The Central Limit Theorem and its applications (section 5-5)
