Work with Steps for μ = 11, σ = 4.5 & x = 7

>This below solved example for normal probability distribution with step by step calculation shows how the input parameters μ = 11, σ = 4.5 & x = 7 are being used in the Gaussian distribution formula to find the probability of success P(X < x) & P(X > x) in statistical experiments.

Work with step by step calculation :

step 1Address the formula input parameters and values
Mean (μ) = 11
Standard deviation (σ) = 4.5
x = 7

step 2 Substitute mean, standard deviation & x value in the below normal distribution formula

gaussian or normal distribution formula to estimate the data spread around the mean

gaussian or normal distribution formula to estimate the data spread around the mean

f(x) = 14.5 x √ 2 x 3.14159e^{- (7 - 11)² / [2 x (4.5)²]}

step 3 Simplify the above expression
= 14.5 x √ 2 x 3.14159e^{- (-4)² / (2 x 20.25)}
= 14.5 x √ 2 x 3.14159e^{- (16 / 40.5)}
= 14.5 x √ 2 x 3.14159e^{- 0.3951}
= 14.5 x √ 2 x 3.14159 x 0.6736
= 14.5 x √6.2832 x 0.6736
= 14.5 x 2.5066 x 0.6736
= 111.2798 x 0.6736

= 0.0887 x 0.6736
P(x) = 0.0597

P(x < 7) = 0.0597
P(x > 7) = 1 - P(x)
P(x > 7) = 0.9403
