Define

a. Normally distributed variable.

b. Normally distributed population.

c. Parameters for a normal curve.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. A regularly distributed variable is a random variable with a normal distribution.

The curve is known as a normal curve, and the illustration is as follows:

b. The term "normally distributed population" refers to a population that is considered under a random variable having a normal distribution.

c. Generally the mean is symbolically represents by μand the standard deviation is symbolically represents by σ.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Define a normally distributed variable. For a real-valued random variable, a normal distribution is a sort of continuous probability distribution.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

The normally distributed variable are,

A regularly distributed variable is a random variable with a normal distribution.

A bell-shaped curve is the normal distribution curve.

The curve is known as a normal curve, and the illustration is as follows:

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

To define the normally distributed population.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The term "normally distributed population" refers to a population that is considered under a random variable having a normal distribution.

A bell-shaped curve is the normal distribution curve.

The curve is known as a normal curve, and the illustration is as follows:

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information 

To define the normally distributed population.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation 

The mean and standard deviation of the distribution are the parameters for any distribution.

Curve of normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of the data are also parameters.

Generally the mean is symbolically represents by μand the standard deviation is symbolically represents byσ.

We have provided a normal probability plot of data from a sample of a population. In each case, assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

Booted Eagles. The rare booted eagle of western Europe was the focus of a study by S. Suarez et al. to identify the optimal nesting habitat for this raptor. According to their paper "Nesting Habitat Selection by Booted Eagles (Hieraaefus pennatus) and Implications for Management" (Journal of Applied Ecology, Vol. 37. pp. 215-223). the distances of such nests to the nearest marshland are normally distributed with a mean 4.66kmand a standard deviation 0.75km. Let Ybe the distance of a randomly selected nest to the nearest marshland.

Gibson Song Duration. A preliminary behavioral study of the Jingdong black gibbon, a primate endemic to the Wuliang Mountains in China, found that the mean song bout duration in the wet season is 12.59 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.31 minutes. [SOURCE: L. Shecran et al.. "Preliminary Report on the Behavior of the Jingdong Black Gibbon. Tropical Biodiversity, Vol, 5(2). Pp. 113-125] Assuming that song bout is normally distributed, determine the percentage of song bouts that have durations within

a. one standard deviation to either side of the mean.

b. two standard deviations to either side of the mean.

C. three standard deviations to either side of the mean.
