Section 6.5Summary

  1. Section 6.5 showed how to solve normal probability problems for any conceivable normal random variable by first standardizing into and then using the methods of Section 6.4. Methods for finding probabilities for a given value of the normal random variable were discussed.
  2. For any normal probability distribution, values of can be found for given probabilities using the formula .
  3. Normal probability plots are used to assess the normality of a data set.
