Learning outcomes
After working through this module you should be able to:
- Outline the three steps that describe good scientific procedure.
- Name the parameters that describe a normal distribution and explain how the distribution of a variable changes in response to changes of these parameters
- Indicate where the middle 68%, 95% and 99% of a normal distribution lies relative to the mean of the distribution.
- Indicate how the values of the mean and standard deviation of one normal distribution need to change in order to increase or decrease the overlap it has with a second normal distribution.
