Normal Distribution in Desmos (Updated Interface)

⚠️Desmos released an interface update in May 2025, which changed the steps for working with normal distributions. This video shows the current process for finding normal probabilities in Desmos, making it especially helpful for AP Statistics students. What You’ll Learn in This Video ✔ Where the Normal Distribution and Normal Probability menus are located in Desmos ✔ How to compute normal probabilities quickly and accurately ✔ How to interpret Left, Right, and Between regions ✔ How to avoid common errors (including mixing up Left vs Right areas) ✔ Why Desmos is faster, clearer, and more powerful than a TI‑84 ✔ Why AP Statistics students should master Desmos before test day Why This Matters for AP Statistics The College Board now provides a built‑in Desmos graphing calculator in the Bluebook testing app. That means every AP Statistics student has free access to Desmos on exam day - but only if they know how to use it effectively! Mastering Desmos can save time, reduce mistakes, and help boost scores. For Teachers If you teach introductory or AP Statistics, Desmos is an excellent replacement for TI‑84 calculators: * It’s free * It’s easier for students to learn * It offers clearer visualizations * It matches the calculator students will see on the AP exam This video gives you and your students everything you need to get started with normal probability calculations. #desmos #apstats #normaldistribution
