Definition•It is defined as a continuous frequency distribution of infinite range.
•The normal distribution is a descriptive model that describes real world situations.

Importance•Many dependent variables are commonly assumed to be normally distributed in the population
•If a variable is approximately normally distributed we can make inferences about values of that variable

•Curve is asymptotic to the x-axis
•Total area under the curve above the x-axis = 1 or 100%

Probabilities are depicted by areas under the curve
•Total area under the curve is 1
•The area in red is equal to p(z > 1)
•The area in blue is equal to p(-1< z <0)

Applications of the Normal Distribution•Example:
▫DGP University conducts placement examination to all incoming freshmen. The examination scores of the 1000 examinees last semester were approximately normally distributed with mean score of 80 and standard deviation of 5. What is the probability that randomly chosen student got a score below 70?above 82? Between 75 and 90?
