• Calculate the probability that the sample mean of a variable falls in some range.

  +X12)/12 We now use the fact that the sum of independent, normally distributed random variables is itself a normally distributed random variable, with mean and variance equal to the sum of the means and the sum of the variances.

• Show that Constants are Normally Distributed

  177775 Show that constants are normally distributed. Let X1 and X2 denoted independent, normally distributed random variables, not necessarily the same mean or variance. Show that any constants "a" and "b", Y= aX1 + bX2 is normally distributed.

• Calculating the probability that a mean cost will be less than a specified number given standard deviation.

  Now we use the fact the a sum of normally distributed random variables is a normally distributed random variable. Thus, (X1 + X2 + X3 + ... + X9) follow a normal distribution. Using the fact that E(X1+X2+...+X9)=E(X1)+E(X2)+...

• Characteristics of Normal Distribution

  Normal distribution is infinitely divisible: for a normally distributed X with mean μ and variance σ2 we can find n independent random variables {X1, ..., Xn} each distributed normally with means μ/n and variances σ2/n such that their
