Introduction:
In this article we can study bell curve normal distribution, which figure most significantly in statistical theory and in application. Normal distribution is also called as the Normal probability distribution. Let us see how to calculate normal distribution. The normal distribution looks like a bell shaped curve. Hence it is also known as normal curve of distribution.
Definition of normal distribution:
A continuous random variable X is said to follows a normal distribution with parameter μ and σ (or μ and σ2) if the probability functions is
f(x) = (1/ σ 2π) e – ½ ((x – μ)/σ)2 ; −∞ < x < ∞, − ∞ < μ < ∞, and σ > 0.
This is the formula which is used to show normal curve of distribution.
Constants of Normal distribution:
Mean = μ
Variance = σ2
Standard deviation = σ
The graph of the normal curve is shown above. The shape of the curve is bell. These are the constants which tell normal curve of distribution.
Examples:
Let Z be the standard normal variate. Calculate the given probabilities.
(i) P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1.3) (ii) P(−1.3 ≤ Z ≤ 0) (iii) Area to the right of Z = 1.6 (iv) Area to the left of Z = 1.4 (v) P(−1.7 ≤ Z ≤ 2.7) (vi) P(−1.7 ≤ Z ≤ − 0.7) (vii) P(1.7 ≤ Z ≤ 2.7)
(i) P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1.3)
P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1.3) = area between
Z = 0 and Z = 1.3
= 0.4032
(ii) P(−1.3 ≤ Z ≤ 0)
P(−1.3 ≤ Z ≤ 0) = P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1.3)

could vary by as much as 4%. Assumption of SD of 2% may be not be correct.
The variances of each sample are 37.33333333 for the smoking population and 18.94 for the non-smoking population. Their standard deviations are 6.
The first thing that was decided upon was to find the Mean, Median, and Mode. Using a calculator they were able to obtain the exact numbers.
The Bell Curve is a book originally published in 1994. It was written by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray to explain the variations of intelligence in American Society. They accomplished this by using statistical analysis, for the purpose of raising warnings regarding the consequences of the intelligence gap. This was also made to propose a national social policy with the goal of mitigating bad consequences that have been attributed to this intelligence gap. Much of the information is widely considered controversial. An example of this is the low African-American scores compared to whites and Asians, and genetic factors in intelligence abilities. The introduction of the book starts with a brief history of intelligence theory and recent developments in intelligence thought and testing. The author creates six assumptions that has to do with the validity of the “classical” cognitive testing techniques.
In this equation, Y is the dependent variable, and X is the independent variable. α is the intercept of the regression line, and β is the slope of the regression line. e is the random disturbance term.

...ferred because it produces meaningful information about each data point and where it falls within its normal distribution, plus provides a crude indicator of outliers. (Ben Etzkorn 2011).
When “a” is increased in the equation for the curve, the entire curve increases in size, giving it a larger area. The value for “x” is greatly increased on the right side positive y-axis, while the value for “x” on the left side negative y-axis becomes gradually more negative at a much lower rate then that of the right side positive y-axis.
The extent to which a distribution of values deviates from symmetry around the mean is the skewness. A value of zero means the distribution is symmetric, while a positive skewness indicates a greater number of smaller values, and a negative value indicates a greater number of larger values (Grad pad, 2013). Values for acceptability for psychometric purposes (+/-1 to +/-2) are the same as with kurtosis.
The Collier Encyclopedia’s definition for probability is the concern for events that are not certain and the reasonableness of one expectation over another. These expectations are usually based on some facts about past events or what is known as statistics. Collier describes statistics to be the science of the classification and manipulation of data in order to draw inferences. Inferences here can be read to mean expectations, leading to the conclusion that the two go hand in hand in accomplishing what mankind has tried to accomplish since the beginning of time – predicting the future. It is the notion of science that this is the most accurate way to predict events yet to occur and this has lead to it being the most widely accepted “fortune telling'; tool in the world today.
Statistics contains the development of procedures and tests that are used to describe the variability characteristic in data, the odds of certain outcomes, and the fault and doubt related with those outcomes. Some statistics are influenced, some are based on beliefs, and some are false.
