2.What is the significance of expected value when simple mean (Sum of all observations/number of observations) is already
in place
Expected mean is weighted mean for random variables in a probability distribution.
Simple mean is average for a given sample.
3.Having skewness in the curve considered to be bad in the analysis?
Having a skewness is disoration of the curve from the normal distribution.
It not either good or bad to have a skewness in the curve.
4.Evaluate the probabilities for continuous normal distribution with given mean = 680 and standard deviation = 31
z =(x-mean)/standard deviation
a.P(X<711)
z = 1
84.12%
b.P(X>740)
z = 1.9 = 2
2.27%
c.P(600<x<720)
83.99%
d.P(X=720)
0%
5.5)Explain the curve on the right side
The right side of the normal distribution represents the high chance of finding better performer or best scoring student or higher paid employees.
