Key Concepts

Normal Distribution

A continuous probability distribution characterized by its symmetric, bell-shaped curve and defined by two parameters: mean (average) and standard deviation (spread). It is widely used in statistics due to the central limit theorem, which suggests that the sum of many independent random variables tends toward a normal distribution regardless of the original distribution.

Z-Score Transformation

A method of standardizing a normal random variable by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation. This transformation converts any normal distribution into the standard normal distribution, allowing the use of universal probability tables and simplifying the process of probability calculation.

Standard Normal Distribution

A special case of the normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. It provides a standardized framework for computing probabilities and quantiles, enabling comparisons across different normal distributions.

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)

A function that gives the probability that a normally distributed random variable takes a value less than or equal to a certain number. It represents the area under the probability density function curve up to that point and is essential for calculating ranges and probabilities.
