C2 - L4 Enhancing Knowledge of Probabilities Under The Normal Curve

1. The document reviews key facts about the normal distribution including that the area under the standard normal curve is 1, it extends indefinitely in both directions, and the maximum probability is found at the mean value of 0. 2. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate the area under the normal curve above and below given z-values using subtraction and addition operations. 3. The final examples demonstrate calculating the area less than z=1, greater than z=-1.93, and at the left of z=-1.93.
