Key Concepts

Symmetry of the Normal Curve

The normal curve is symmetric about its mean, which implies that probabilities are equally distributed on both sides of the mean. This symmetry enables the identification of equal-tailed intervals around the mean that capture a specific proportion of the probability such as 95% of the area under the curve.

Central Confidence Interval

A central confidence interval refers to a range around the mean in which a specified percentage of the distribution's probability lies. In the standard normal distribution, finding the z-values that encompass 95% of the area between them is a common task for constructing these intervals, which are widely used in hypothesis testing and confidence interval calculations.

Standard Normal Distribution

The standard normal distribution is a bell-shaped probability distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. It serves as a foundational concept in statistics, used to model the distribution of standardized data and as the basis for many inferential statistics techniques.

z-Score

A z-score is a numerical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations. It is used in the context of the standard normal distribution to determine how far and in which direction a given data point deviates from the mean.
