Normal distribution - practice problems
It is used for random variables that are the sum of a large number of independent or only weakly dependent values. The probability distribution has a bell-shaped Gaussian curve. It is symmetric around the mean value μ, both median and mode. Three sigma rule (sigma σ = standard deviation): 68.26% of the probability belongs to the mean value μ to the distance σ, 95.45% belongs to 2σ, 99.73% to 3σ.Number of problems found: 24
