Key Concepts

Normal Distribution

A normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution characterized by its bell-shaped curve, which is symmetric about the mean. It is fully described by two parameters: the mean (which indicates the center of the distribution) and the variance (which indicates the spread or dispersion of the distribution).

Variance

Variance is a measure of the spread of a set of values in a probability distribution. In the context of a normal distribution, the second parameter typically represents the variance, meaning it quantifies how data points deviate from the mean. If variance is given as 2, it implies that the squared deviation from the mean is 2 on average.

Standard Deviation

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance and provides a measure of dispersion in the same units as the data, unlike the variance which is in squared units. Therefore, if the variance is 2, the standard deviation is the square root of 2, representing the average distance of the data points from the mean.
