NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

A normal distribution is a probability distribution of a


continuous random variable. Its graphical form is known
as a normal curve.

A normal distribution or Gaussian distribution refers to a


probability distribution where the values of a random
variable are distributed symmetrically. These values are
equally distributed on the left and the right side of the
central tendency. Thus, a bell-shaped curve is formed.
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

Normal Distribution

It is often called
a "Bell Curve“
because it looks
like a bell.

2. The mean, median and mode are equal and located at the
center of the distribution.
3. The normal distribution is unimodal.
4. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean.
5. The total area under the normal distribution is 1 or 100%.
6. The normal distribution is asymptotic to the x-axis.
7. The normal distribution follows the empirical rule (also
called the 68 -95 - 99.7% rule).
