  • Standard Normal Distribution
    A bell-shaped curve centered at zero with a spread of one, used as a reference for probability calculations.
  • Nonstandard Normal Distribution
    A bell-shaped curve with any mean and standard deviation, requiring transformation for standard analysis.
  • Mean
    The central value around which data points cluster in a normal distribution, often denoted by the Greek letter mu.
  • Standard Deviation
    A measure of spread indicating how much data points deviate from the mean, commonly represented by sigma.
  • Z-Score
    A value expressing how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean, enabling comparison across distributions.
  • Probability
    The likelihood that a random variable falls within a specified range, often visualized as area under the curve.
  • Z-Table
    A reference chart listing probabilities associated with z-scores, used to find areas under the standard normal curve.
  • Transformation Equation
    A formula converting a nonstandard variable to a z-score, allowing use of standard normal tools for analysis.
  • Bell Curve
    A graphical representation of a normal distribution, symmetric and centered around the mean.
  • Area Under the Curve
    A visual measure representing probability for a range of values in a normal distribution.
  • Commute Time
    An example of a real-world variable modeled by a normal distribution, used to illustrate probability calculations.
  • Sampling Data
    A collection of observed values from a population, often used to estimate distribution parameters.
  • X Value
    A specific data point in a distribution, often calculated from a given probability using transformation formulas.
  • Population
    The entire set of individuals or items under study, from which sampling data is drawn.
  • Left Tail
    The portion of a normal distribution curve representing values less than a specified point, often used in probability calculations.
