Continuous Probabilities: Normal Distribution, Confidence Intervals for the Mean, and Sample Size The Normal Distribution Normal (Gaussian) distribution: a symmetric distribution, shaped like a bell, that is completely described by its mean and standard deviation. Mean or x Tail Standard Deviation or sd Every distribution has 2 tails. There are an infinite number of Normal curves. To be useful, the Normal curve is standardized to a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This is called a standard Normal curve. To use the standard Normal curve, data must first be converted to z-scores. Z-score: a transformation that expresses data in terms of standard deviations from the mean.. =.. For example: We have a sample that has a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of What is the z-score of an observation from this data set that has a value of 13?
Precision: both the repeatability of a measurement AND the level of the measurement scale (e.g. measuring to 1 inch vs measuring to 0.001 inch). The power to detect. differences is not a linear. function of sample size. Also note that in this case. after about 20 samples. the power to detect
