Hello. I need help with creating a normal distribution for a pre-made dataset in excel? I mainly confused with the steps to complete the process.
Answers
Let's say your data is all in column A. Furthermore, we'll say we have 21 items in this column. Make sure this data column is sorted from smallest to largest. If this isn't done, then weird things will happen when it comes to connecting the dots later on.
Column B will be used later, but for now, let's move to cell C1. In this cell, type =AVERAGE(A1:A21)
The equal sign is important to tell Excel that we have a function here, and not just plain text. As the function implies, we're finding the average (aka mean) of values A1,A2,...,A20,A21. This computes the arithmetic mean.
In cell D1, type in =STDEV(A1:A21) to compute the sample standard deviation
There's nothing special about C1 or D1. We just need something off to the side. Think of it like scratch work.
-------------------------
Now move back to column B. In cell B1, type =NORMDIST(A1,$C$1,$D$1,FALSE)
The $C$1 and $D$1 refer to cells C1 and D1 respectively. The dollar signs lock in those rows and columns so they don't change. We don't want the mean and standard deviation to alter. The "False" at the end tells Excel that we don't want a cumulative normal distribution.
The first parameter A1 is the x value. Much like the curve y = x^2, we plug in various x values to find corresponding y values. We'll plot various (x,y) points to connect them with a curve. The more points, the more accurate the curve. Instead of the x^2 function, we're using the NORMDIST function.
Once cell B1 is filled out, click on the bottom right corner of the cell. You should see a very small square at this corner. Dragging this square down until you reach cell B21 will fill in the remaining 20 cells with the formula mentioned in bold; however, the A1 will change depending on what row you're on. Everything else stays the same hence the use of the dollar signs.
-------------------------
In figure 1 below, I'm showing an example of what I've discussed so far. Figure 1 shows the formulas in each cell. This is before they are evaluated.
Figure 2 shows what the formulas evaluate to. The data in column A can be anything you want. I randomly generated the data values between 2 and 17.
Once column B is figured out, you would insert a chart of (x,y) scatter points. Make sure to connect the dots so that a curve forms. This will complete the normal distribution graph. Again, the data in column A must be sorted or else the dots won't be connected properly.
To be perfectly honest, Excel doesn't really do a good job at drawing curves like this. In my opinion, programs like GeoGebra are better suited for the task. Though spreadsheet programs like Excel are still used in a lot of settings, which is why this is good practice.

There is a mound of g pounds of gravel in a quarry. Throughout the day, 200 pounds of gravel are added to the mound. Two orders of 600 pounds are sold and the gravel is removed from the mound. At the end of the day, the mound has 1,400 pounds of gravel.
Write the equation that describes the situation. Then solve for g.
Answers
Answer:
g + 200 - 2*600 = 1400
g = 2400 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
g + 200 - 2*600 = 1400
g + 200 - 1200 = 1400
g - 1000 = 1400
g = 2400

Answer:
x = 50 + 95 = 145
.........
Answer:
x = 145°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Measure of the first angle = 50°
Measure of the second angle = 95°
We know,
Sum of 3 angles of a triangle is equals to 180°
∴ The third angle = 180° - (50+95)°
= 180° - 145°
= 35°
Again,
Straight angle = 180°
∴ x = 180° - 35°
= 145°
∴x = 145°
You measure 34 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 69 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 8.2 ounces. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight. Give your answers as decimals, to two places
Answers
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight is between 66.24 and 71.76 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 1.96\frac{8.2}{\sqrt{34}} = 2.76[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 69 - 2.76 = 66.24 ounces
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 69 + 2.76 = 71.76 ounces.
The 95% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight is between 66.24 and 71.76 ounces.

4. It was 68.7°F at midday, then it rose 9°F in the afternoon and dropped another 12.3°F by 7:00 p.m. What was the temperature at 7:00p.m.?
Answers
The temperature rose so you add the amount it rose to the starting temperature
68.7 + 9 = 77.7 degrees
It then dropped so mow you subtract t the amount it dropped:
77.7 - 12.3 = 65.4 degrees
The answer is 65.4 degrees

Nkateko sells bananas at the low but fixed price of R3/kg. In order to ensure that she makes a reasonable profit, she adds a certain fixed amount of money to any quantity of bananas purchased. A customer who bought 4 kg of bananas was observed paying R14.
Answers
Answer:
The profit for any purchased of bananas is R2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 1 kg banana = R 3
Banana purchased = 4 kg
So, the cost of 4 kg bananas = 4 x 3 = R 12
Amount paid = R 14
Profit = R 14 - R 12 = R 2
So, the profit on any purchased of bananas is R 2.

thus

Find the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and adjacent vertices at (1, 4, 0), (-2, -5, 2), and (-2, 2, 1).
Answers
17 cubic units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of a parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin is given by the absolute value of the scalar vector product of the vectors at the adjacent vertices.
V = |(a x b) · c|
In this case,
a = (1,4,0) = i + 4k + 0j
b = (-2,-5,2) = -2i -5j + 2k
c = (-2,2,1) = -2i + 2j + k
First, let's calculate the cross product of vectors a and b. i.e a x b as follows:
(i) Arrange the vectors in a matrix form
a x b = | i j k |
| 1 4 0 |
| -2 -5 2 |
(ii) Calculate the determinant of the matrix
a x b = i(8 - 0) -j(2-0) + k(-5+8)
a x b = i(8) -j(2) + k(3)
a x b = 8i - 2j + 3k
Secondly, calculate the scalar product of the cross product found above and the vector c as follows;
(a x b) . c = (8i - 2j + 3k) · (-2i + 2j + k)
Multiply like terms
(a x b) . c = (8 * -2)(i.i) + (-2 * 2)(j.j) + (3 * 1)(k.k) [i.i = j.j = k.k = 1]
(a x b) . c = (-16) + (-4) + (3)
(a x b) . c = -16 - 4 + 3
(a x b) . c = -17
Thirdly, find the absolute value of the result found above. i.e
|(a x b) . c| = |-17|
|(a x b) . c| = 17
Therefore, the volume of the parallelepiped is 17 cubic units.
