Solution
Let’s first analyze and complete the details for your scenario.
We are working with a normal distribution , where:
- Mean () = 2
- Variance () = 4, so the standard deviation () = .
Now let's go through each part of your statement:
-
Two standard deviations left of the mean:
- This means .
- The Z-score corresponding to this is .
-
Two standard deviations right of the mean:
- This means .
- The Z-score corresponding to this is .
Key formulas:
- The Z-score is calculated as: where is the value on the normal distribution, is the mean, and is the standard deviation.
Completing the formulas:
- The value of (mean) gives 2.
- The value of (standard deviation) gives 2.
- The value of (variance) gives 4.
- The value of (two standard deviations left of the mean) gives -2.
- The value of (two standard deviations right of the mean) gives 6.
- The value of for two standard deviations left of the mean gives -2.
- The value of for two standard deviations right of the mean gives 2.
Would you like further details or explanations? Here are some additional questions that build on this:
- What is the probability of a Z-score between -2 and 2 in a normal distribution?
- How does the Z-score relate to percentiles in a normal distribution?
- How would you calculate the Z-score for an arbitrary value not two standard deviations from the mean?
- Can you explain the 68-95-99.7 rule in the context of standard deviations and normal distribution?
- How does the standard deviation influence the shape of a normal distribution curve?
Tip: The Z-score provides a standardized way to compare values from different normal distributions, translating them into the same scale.
