Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
A driver is traveling along a straight road when a buffalo runs into the street. This driver has a reaction time of 0.75 seconds. When the driver sees the buffalo he is traveling at 44 ft/s, his car can decelerate at 2 ft/s^2 when the brakes are applied. What is the stopping distance between when the driver first saw the buffalo, to when the car stops.
