Understanding Normal Distribution

The document introduces the normal distribution through defining its mean (m) as 5, standard deviation (s) as 2, and variance (s^2) as 4. It then provides a table showing x-values from -20 to 20, their distances from the mean (x-m), those distances divided by the standard deviation ((x-m)/s), and the corresponding cumulative distribution function (CDF) values. Two graphs are also included, one showing the normal distribution curve and another the cumulative distribution function.
