Question

Graph by hand the standard normal distribution by using the formula derived in the Previous Exercise. Let π3.14\pi \approx 3.14 and e2.718e \approx 2.718. Use XX values of 2,1.5,1,0.5,0,0.5-2,-1.5,-1,-0.5,0,0.5, 1,1.51,1.5, and 2.2. (Use a calculator to compute the yy values.)

Let yy be the value of the standard normal distribution function for any given XX.

Using a calculator and the formula

y=eX222πy=\frac{e^{-{\frac{X^2}2}}}{\sqrt{2\pi}}

we calculate yy for each given value of XX.

XX yy
2-2 0.053990.05399
1.5-1.5 0.129510.12951
1-1 0.241970.24197
0.5-0.5 0.352060.35206
00 0.398940.39894
0.50.5 0.352060.35206
11 0.241970.24197
