- If we divide the random variable, the mean, and the standard deviation by n, we get a normal distribution of proportions with ˆP, called the estimated proportion, as the random variable. (Recall that a proportion as the number of successes divided by n.)

What is the cumulative proportion of a value x in a distribution?
The cumulative proportion of a value x in a distribution is the proportion of the distribution that is less than or equal to x. The proportion is the same as the area under the curve (because the total area is 1). The Standard Normal Distribution. Cumulative Proportions. Using the Standard Normal Table.

The normal condition for sample proportions. According to the admissions director of a certain college, approximately 11 % of the 250 freshmen admitted had applied using the early decision option.

Minitab can be used to find the proportion of a normal distribution in a given range. The default in Minitab is to construct a standard normal distribution (i.e., z distribution), but the mean and standard deviation of the distribution can be edited.
Normal distributions are good descriptions for some dis-tributions of real data. Examples include test scores and characteristics of biological populations (such as height or weight). Normal distributions are good approximations to the re-sults of many kinds of chance outcomes.
Normal Approximation: The sampling distribution of averages or proportions from a large number of independent trials approximately follows the normal curve. The expectation of a sample proportion or average is the corresponding population value. The standard deviation of a sample mean is: population standard deviation n = σ n.
