  • In this video I provide a tutorial on how to calculate the probabilities associated with a normal distribution from knowing the mean and the standard deviation.

      Hi Patricia, thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't realised I'd done that until you mentioned it. It seems as though youtube has removed any ability to add text overlay on a specific point on a video like they once had which is annoying, so I am going to have to edit and re-upload this at some point when I have the time. Thanks again.

    A small simplification is that you can enter -e^99 for very small numbers instead of -1e^99. (this is for entering the lower range on a normal distribution). You can also enter e^99 for very large numbers instead of 1e^99. It saves a couple keystrokes and produces the same exact results (for entering the upper range on a normal distribution).

    • @BellCurvedEducation
      @BellCurvedEducation  Před 5 lety

      This is a good point, old habits die hard though as I always enter it like that even when I know I don't need to.

      You should instead be using "2nd" then "EE" or "E" on the calculator for 1E99 = 1 x 10^99. (EE stands for Engineering Exponent. e is Euler's number).

But checking and I can't see either, it seems I only made the note on my website of this error, so I need to update this when I am on my computer next. I made the error as I was only just learning to use the TI for myself since the school I work at uses TI when I made this video and had come from being a long time Casio user.

    You seem to be using the wrong "e". The lowercase "e" is actually Euler's number, so about 2.718. When I put in 1e99 on mine, I get about 270. You should actually be using the "EE" button, right above the 7. That is what gives the powers of ten, or infinitely large effect you were talking about, at least on my calculator.

    • @BellCurvedEducation
      @BellCurvedEducation  Před 4 lety +1

      I'm not able to double check this right now, but you could be right. I was new to these calculators when I first made these for my students as I am much more familiar to Casio's but the school I work at use TI's. I know that I realised I had used the wrong button a couple of years ago when working through a question with my students at school, so will have to double check this and maybe redo this video. Thanks for letting me know.

  • @kimballclark1392
    @kimballclark1392 Před 3 měsíci

    To get the largest number you don't type 1e99 as you did. This uses the natural number e. The correct method would use 1E99 and the E is obtained by pressing the the 2nd function key followed by EE (which is above the comma button). This is scientific notation and it has nothing to do with the natural number e. Also the minimum for the distribution should not be negative it should be close to but not exactly zero.
    So the correct entry should be 1E-99 not -1e99. You really need to get these things corrected.

    • @BABABOOWIE369
      @BABABOOWIE369 Před 5 lety +1

      Well if it's a normal distribution, the mean should be the distance between each limit halved. Then if you wanna find the standard deviation, the first standard deviation contains 68% of the area under the curve, so 34% from each side. It's not impossible to solve for, but first you're gonna have to solve for your mean (mu) and standard deviation, and then you use the normal distribution function

      The calculator generally shows an error if you use the subtract button for a negative number rather than the negative button. The negative button is to the left of the equals sign and has brackets around it. So when entering -1E99 into the calculator, ensure to use the negative button rather than the subtract button.
