Expert Solution
Step 1

Normal probability is a type of continuous probability distribution that can take random values on the whole real line. The main properties of the normal distribution are :

  • It is continuous (and as a consequence, the probability of getting any single, specific outcome is zero)

 

  • It has a "bell shaped" distribution (and that is where the "Bell-Curve" name comes along)

 

  • The normal distribution is determined by two parameters: the population mean and population standard deviation

 

  • It is symmetric with respect to its mean.
