Normal distribution Summary

In statistics, a frequency distribution in the shape of the classic bell curve.

It accurately represents most variations in such attributes as height and weight. Any random variable with a normal distribution has a mean (&see; mean, median, and mode) and a standard deviation that indicates how much the data as a whole deviate from the mean. The standard deviation is smaller for data clustered closely around the mean value and larger for more dispersed data sets.
