Normal Distribution

The normal distribution is one of the most important continuous probability distributions in statistics. It is also known as the Gaussian distribution, named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. The normal distribution has a bell-shaped curve that is symmetrical around the mean. It has the unique property that the mean, median and mode all coincide at a single point. The total area under the normal curve is equal to 1. The normal distribution can be used to calculate probabilities that a random variable falls within a given interval using z-scores and standard normal distribution tables.

•
DISTRIBUTION?
The probability distribution is
said to be normal if the mean,
median, and mode coincide at a
single point.
• The mean coincides with a line
that divides the normal curve
into parts. It is symmetrical

• The right and left tails are
asymptotic to its horizontal line.
• The total are under the normal
curve is equal to 1.
AREAS UNDER THE NORMAL CURVE

When x has a normal


distribution with specified
values of mean and standard
deviation, the probability that
an observed x values falls in
some interval is the area under
the normal curve and above the
interval. (Standard Score or Z-

In a given normal distribution , the sample mean is 75 and the
sample standard deviation is 4. Find the corresponding
standard scores and use the z- score table to find its value.

EXAMPLE # 2
In a given normal distribution, the population mean is 80 and
the population standard deviation is 4. Find the corresponding
standard score and use the z – score table to find its value.
