In this paper, some various families constructed from the logit of the generalized Beta, Beta, Kumar, generalized Gamma, Gamma, Weibull, log gamma and Logistic distributions are reviewed. Then a general family of distributions generated from the logit of the normal distribution is proposed. A special case of this family, Normal-Uniform distribution, is defined and studied. Various properties of the distribution are also explored. The maximum likelihood and minimum spacings estimators of the parameters of this distribution are obtained. Finally, the new distribution is effectively used to analysis a real survival data set.

In this paper, based on an appropriate pivotal quantity, two methods are introduced to determine confidence region for the mean and standard deviation in a two parameter uniform distribution, in which the application of numerical methods is not mandatory. In the first method, the smallest region is obtained by minimizing the confidence region's area, and in the second method, a simultaneous Bonferroni confidence interval is introduced by using the smallest confidence intervals. By the comparison of area and coverage probability of the introduced methods, as well as, comparison of the width of strip including the standard deviation in both methods, it has been shown that the first method has a better efficiency. Finally, an approximation for the quantile of F
distribution used in calculating the confidence regions in a special case is presented.
