Curve Concepts in
Problem Solving
How can we apply the
normal curve concepts
in solving real-life
problems?
Example
The average weight of 1000
children is 50 kg and the
standard deviation is 5 kg.
How many children weigh:
a. above 60 kg?
b. below 52 kg?
c. between 40 kg and 55kg?
Example
The average weight of 1000 Steps:
children is 50 kg and the Draw a normal
standard deviation is 5 kg. curve with six raw
How many children weigh: scores that
a. above 60 kg? corresponds to the
b. below 52 kg? six z-scores.
c. between 40 kg and 55kg?
Example
The average weight of 1000 Steps:
children is 50 kg and the
standard deviation is 5 kg.
How many children weigh:
a. above 60 kg?
b. below 52 kg? Since the mean is equal to 50 and the
c. between 40 kg and 55kg? standard deviation is equal to 5, then…
Example
The average weight of 1000 Steps:
