Average Orange

Activity Overview

This activity presents the normal probability distribution, beginning with the normal curve. Students explore the area under the curve between various x-values and use a model to find what percent of the area lies within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean. They then apply this knowledge to answer questions about an orange crop with normally distributed weights. Percentiles are defined and calculated.
