What is normal distribution?
•Normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, is a probability distribution that is symmetric about the
mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean. The normal
distribution appears as a "bell curve" when graphed.
•The normal distribution describes a symmetrical plot of data around its mean value, where the width of the curve is
defined by the standard deviation. It is visually depicted as the "bell curve.“
•The normal distribution is the proper term for a probability bell curve.
Formula for normal distribution
The probability density function of normal or gaussian distribution is given by;
Where,
•x is the variable
•μ is the mean
•σ is the standard deviation
Normal distribution curve
he random variables following the normal distribution are those whose values can find any
unknown value in a given range. For example, finding the height of the students in the school.
Here, the distribution can consider any value, but it will be bounded in the range say, 0 to 6ft.
This limitation is forced physically in our query.
Standard Normal distribution
The random variable of a standard normal distribution is known as the standard score or a z-
score. It is possible to transform every normal random variable X into a z score using the
following formula:
z = (X – μ) / σ

Normal distribution properties
• In a normal distribution, the mean, median and mode are equal.(i.e., Mean = Median= Mode).
• There should be exactly half of the values are to the right of the centre and exactly half of the values are to the left of
the centre.
• The normal distribution should be defined by the mean and standard deviation.
• The normal distribution curve must have only one peak. (i.e., Unimodal)
• The curve approaches the x-axis, but it never touches, and it extends farther away from the mean.
