This Teacher Pack will cover the following syllabus content:
- understand the use of a normal distribution to model a continuous random variable, and use normal distribution tables.
- solve problems concerning a variable X, where X ~ N(μ,σ²) including: finding the value of P(X > x1), or a related probability, given the values of x1, μ, σ.
- recall conditions under which the normal distribution can be used as an approximation to the binomial distribution, and use this approximation, with a continuity correction, in solving problems.
This unit of work is just one of several approaches you could take when teaching this topic, and you should aim to adapt the resources to match the ability level of your learners as well as your learner context.
