Frequently Asked Questions — Normal Distribution Calculator
What is the normal distribution?
The normal distribution (bell curve, Gaussian distribution) is a symmetric, continuous probability distribution defined by its mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ). Many natural phenomena follow this distribution: heights, test scores, measurement errors. It is fundamental to statistics and the central limit theorem.
What is the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule)?
For a normal distribution: approximately 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean (μ±σ), 95% within 2 standard deviations (μ±2σ), and 99.7% within 3 standard deviations (μ±3σ). This is also called the three-sigma rule and is used to identify outliers.
What is the standard normal distribution?
The standard normal distribution has μ=0 and σ=1. Any normal distribution can be standardized by converting values to z-scores: Z = (X−μ)/σ. This allows use of standard z-tables. This calculator works for any μ and σ — it automatically handles the conversion.
