Understanding Normal Distribution Basics

The document explains the characteristics of normal distribution, emphasizing that it is a continuous random variable with a symmetrical bell-shaped curve where the mean, median, and mode are equal. It discusses the significance of mean and variance in determining the location and shape of the distribution, introducing the standard normal distribution where mean equals 0 and variance equals 1. Additionally, it includes calculations related to probabilities within the standard normal distribution.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

• Only continuous random variable can be modeled as Normal distribution


• The distribution is symmetrical (mean=median=mode).
• Bell shape curve
• The area under the curve is 1 which represents the probability.
• The probability of any one specific value is 0.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

The mean change the location of the distribution graph, the variance change the shape.

When the mean =0 , variance =1, the normal distribution can write as X ~ Z ( 0, 1).
The special normal distribution called standard normal distribution. 3/24
