The Normal Distribution is a crucial probability distribution in engineering, data analysis, and statistics, characterized by its symmetry around the mean and defined by the mean and standard deviation. The Central Limit Theorem underscores its importance, asserting that sample means approach a normal distribution irrespective of the population distribution's shape with a large enough sample size. Key concepts include the Standard Normal Distribution and various application domains such as engineering and finance.

Term: Normal Distribution
Definition: A continuous probability distribution that is symmetric around the mean, often described by its probability density function.
Term: Standard Normal Distribution
Definition: A special case of the normal distribution with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1, often used for simplification in statistical analysis.
Term: Zscore
Definition: A statistical measurement that describes a value's relation to the mean of a group of values, expressed in terms of standard deviations from the mean.
Term: Empirical Rule
Definition: A rule stating that for a normal distribution: approximately 68% of data falls within one standard deviation, 95% within two, and 99.7% within three standard deviations.
Term: Central Limit Theorem
Definition: A fundamental theorem in statistics that states the distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size becomes larger.
