OUTLINE OF CONTENT AND TEACHER ACTIVITY –

Discussion of lesson:
To understand the concept of the normal curve distribution, let’s start by
sketching the frequency polygon of each of the following frequency distributions.
The following frequency distributions show the score of students in a Mathematics quiz.

Guide Questions:
1. Sketch a frequency polygon of each distribution.
2. For each distribution, compute for the three measures of central tendency (mean, median
and mode). What do you observe? Where did you find these measures on the graph (left
end, at the center or right end)?
3. If we will continue to increase the number of students, what do you think will the shape of
the graph be?
Answers:
1. The frequency polygon of each frequency distribution.
Graph 1 Graph 2 Graph 3

2. Computing for the mean, median and mode of each given distributions, we will realize that
the resulting values are equal. Since these measures are equal, they all lie at one point.
That is, at the center of the graph.
3. If we will continue to increase the number of students then in the long run, we can
approximate the graph to the shape of a bell.
In reality, if a distribution contains a very large number of cases with equal measures of central
tendency values, then the distribution is symmetrical* and the skewness* is 0. In statistics, it is
called normal distribution or normal curve (Rene, et al. 2015).In specific sense, it is called a
normal probability distribution whenever the frequencies are converted to probabilities.
Now, to understand the nature of normal distributions, let us learn more about the properties of a
normal probability distribution. There are six properties of normal distributions and these are the
following:
1. The curve of the distribution is a bell-shaped.
2. The curve is symmetrical about the mean.
This means if we will cut the curve about the mean,
we will have balanced proportions of
the halves. Specifically, we say that one is a reflection
of the other. Meaning, the qualities exhibited by one
are the same qualities exhibited by the other.

3. The mean, median and mode are of equal values and when sketched, they coincide at
 the center of the graph.
This means that the mean, median and mode of the given
distribution are located at exactly one point since their
values are equal, and they are located at the center the
graph which indicates the highest peak of the curve.

4.The width of the curve is determined by the standard deviation of the distribution.

The curve considered at the left side defines a

standard normal curve. A standard normal curve is a
normal probability distribution that has mean value
equal to 0
and standard
deviation
equal to 1.

width of the curve

This property explains that the standard normal curve is
used as a guide for distributions which has mean value not
equal to 0 and standard deviation not equal to 1.

86 89 92 95 98 101

For instance, in a given distribution with mean equals 95 and standard deviation equals 3, the width
of the curve will be 3 numbers away from each other, which is determined from the given standard
deviation.
5. The curve extends indefinitely approaching the x-axis but never touching it. Thus, the
curve is asymptotic to the line.
6. The area of the region under the curve is 1. It represents the probability or percentage or
proportion associated with the specific sets of measurement values.
This means that for every specific measurement
value, there corresponds exactly one probability /
percentage / proportion value which describes a
particular area of the region under the normal curve.
