Introduction

The Normal Distribution is a crucial concept in statistics, characterized by its bell shape and defined by its mean and standard deviation.

Properties Of The Normal Distribution

The properties of the normal distribution highlight its symmetric nature, relationship between mean, median, and mode, and the empirical rule governing data distribution.

Standard Normal Distribution

This section covers the concept of the standard normal distribution, its properties, and how to apply it in calculating probabilities.

Standardization Process

The standardization process transforms raw normal random variables into standard normal variables using mean and standard deviation to compute probabilities.

Finding Probabilities

This section explores how to compute probabilities using the normal distribution, focusing on tail probabilities, ranges, and percentiles.

Tail Probability

Tail probabilities help us understand the likelihood of extreme events in a distribution.

Between Two Values

This section describes how to find the probability of a random variable falling between two specific values in a normal distribution.

Two-Sided Probability

This section covers the concept of two-sided probability in the context of the normal distribution, including how to find the area within ±k of the mean.
