Chapter exploration

The normal distribution

Explore

Independent masses X and Y each follow N(100,9)N(100,9). Compare X+Y with 2X. Predict their centres, spreads and probabilities of lying between 194 and 206 before calculating. Sketch both distributions on common axes, then check using their standard deviations in a normal probability calculation. Explain what represents two independently selected objects and what represents two copies of one measurement.
