Introduction to Normal Dis tribution

The normal distribution, also known as the


Gaussian distribution, is a symmetric
probability distribution characterized by its
bell-shaped curve.

It is widely used in statistics to represent


real-valued data that clusters around a
mean.

Many natural phenomena, such as heights,


test scores, and measurement errors,
follow a normal distribution pattern.
K ey Properties of Normal Dis tribution

The mean, median, and mode of a normal


distribution are all located at the center of
the distribution.

The curve is symmetric about the mean,


with the spread determined by the standard
deviation.

Approximately 68% of data falls within one


standard deviation of the mean, 95% within
two, and 99.7% within three, known as the
empirical rule.
Applications of Normal Dis tribution

Normal distribution is essential in inferential


statistics, such as hypothesis testing and
confidence interval estimation.

It is used in quality control processes to


assess product variations and maintain
standards.

Many statistical models assume normally


distributed data, making it a foundational
concept in various fields like economics,
psychology, and biology.
