The Normal distribution is also known as Gaussian or Gauss distribution. Many groups follow this type of pattern. That's why it's widely used in business, statistics, and in government bodies like the FDA: Heights of people. Measurement errors. Blood pressure. Points on a test. The normal distribution is a theoretical distribution of values for a population and has a precise mathematical definition. Data values that are a sample from a normal distribution are said to be "normally distributed." A normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 is called a standard normal distribution. 7.6: Normal Approximation to the Binomial. In the section on the history of the normal distribution, we saw that the normal distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution. Many variables are nearly normal, but none are exactly normal. Thus the normal distribution, while not perfect for any single problem, is very useful for a variety of problems. We will use it in data exploration and to solve important problems in statistics. The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution of standardized values called z-scores. A z-score is measured in units of the standard deviation. For example, if the mean of a normal distribution is five and the standard deviation is two, the value 11 is three standard deviations above (or to the right of) the mean. A normal distribution is significant in statistics and is often used in the natural sciences and social arts to describe real-valued random variables whose distributions are unknown. Q4 What are the characteristics of a normal distribution? Recognize and use the standard normal probability distribution. A special continuous distribution, called normal, is the most common and therefore most important of all the distributions. It is widely used and even more widely abused. Its graph is bell-shaped. You see the bell curve in almost all disciplines. .
