Abstract
GOMES, Maron Stanley Silva Oliveira and LIMA, Camila de Araújo. Teaching of Normal Distribution in Chemistry Applied Statistic using matches. Educ. quím [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.1, pp.81-84. ISSN 0187-893X.
The Gaussian curve is a mathematical model for the distribution, i.e, it is an idealized description, which offers a concise picture of the overall pattern of data. In conducting an analysis is interesting to use graphics to explore data, to assess the relationships between variables, summarize findings and facilitate the interpretation of statistical results. From the data collected by weighing matchsticks presented a simple example for teaching normal distribution in the discipline of Statistics Applied Chemistry from the description of data and inferences, providing principles and methodologies that assist in the observation and participation by students in the teaching-learning process. The data collected is a good example of the normal distribution of data.
