Key Concepts

Normal Distribution

A normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution that is symmetric around its mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean. It is characterized by its bell-shaped curve and defined by two parameters: the mean and the standard deviation.

Mean

The mean of a distribution is the measure of central tendency that indicates the average value. In the context of a normal distribution, it is the point around which the symmetric bell curve is centered.

Standard Deviation

The standard deviation measures the spread or dispersion of the data around the mean. In a normal distribution, the standard deviation determines the width of the bell curve, indicating how much variation or dispersion exists from the mean.

Z-Score Transformation

The Z-score is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relation to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations. It is used to standardize different normal distributions, meaning that any normal distribution can be transformed into a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Tail Probability

Tail probability refers to the probability that a value falls in the extreme right-tail or left-tail of a probability distribution. In the context of the normal distribution, calculating the tail probability often involves finding the area under the curve from a specific point to infinity, which helps in determining the likelihood of observing values beyond a given threshold.
