Normal Distribution: By: Justine Jandayan

The document defines the normal distribution as a bell-shaped, symmetrical probability distribution where the mean, median, and mode are equal. It is determined by the standard deviation of the data set. A standard normal curve precisely refers to a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. The normal distribution and z-scores are commonly used to describe real-life phenomena like turtle lifespans that tend to cluster around a central value.
