Generate Random Normal Values: Graph Limits

The document discusses the normal distribution and generates a random normal value. It defines the mean, standard deviation, and graph limits for a normal distribution. A probability density graph and cumulative probability graph are shown for the normal distribution with the given parameters. A table also lists the probability density and cumulative probability values for z-scores between -2 and 2.
