The mean μ and the standard deviation σ. About 68 of data falls within one standard deviation of the mean. We write X - N μ σ 2.
Normal distributions are also called Gaussian distributions or bell curves because of their shape.
Here I explain the basics of how these distributions are created. Normal distributions are also called Gaussian distributions or bell curves because of their shape. The shape of the bell curve is dictated by two parameters. It has two tails one is known as the right tail and the other one is known as the left tail. First is the mean denoted as μ.
