About the Normal Distribution

• Most important distribution

• Bell-shaped

• Unimodal, with the peak at the center (mean)

• Mean=Median=Mode

• Symmetric around the center (mean)

• Asymptotic tails

• Area under the curve is 1

• Positive for all x

• Shape is dependent on mean, $\mu$ , and standard deviation, $\sigma$

• 68% of the observations are within 1 standard deviation of the mean

• 95% of the observations are within 2 standard deviations of the mean

• 99.9% of the observations are within 3 standard deviations of the mean
