What are the parameters for a normal curve?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The parameters of a normal curve are mean and standard deviation. We often identify a normal curve by stating the corresponding mean and standard deviation.

We have provided a normal probability plot of data from a sample of a population. In each case, assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

With which normal distribution is the standard normal curve associated?

Emergency Room Traffic. Desert Samaritan Hospital in Mesa, Arizona, keeps records of emergency room traftic. Those records reveal that the times between arriving patients have a mean of 8.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 8.7 minutes. Based solely on the values of these two parameters, explain why it is unreasonable to assume that the times between arriving patients is normally distributed or even approximately so.
