Lab05 Normal Distribution - Ipynb

This document explores the normal distribution and how to plot it with different means and standard deviations in Python. Random samples are generated from normal distributions and plotted. The mean and standard deviation are varied to show their effects on the distribution. Examples are given to calculate probabilities and cut-off scores for normally distributed data like exam scores.
