English: A selection of Normal Distribution Probability Density Functions (PDFs). Both the mean, μ , and variance, σ² , are varied. The key is given on the graph.
The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when μ = 0 {\textstyle \mu =0} and σ 2 = 1 {\textstyle \sigma ^{2}=1} , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): φ ( z ) = e − z 2 2 2 π . {\displaystyle \varphi (z ...

English: The re-drawn chart comparing the various grading methods in a normal distribution. Includes: Standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, Z-scores and T-scores. Inspired by Figure 4.3 on Page 74 of Ward, A. W., Murray-Ward, M. (1999). Assessment in the Classroom. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. ISBN 0534527043
English: Normal distribution curve that illustrates standard deviations. Each band has 1 standard deviation, and the labels indicate the approximate proportion of area (note: these add up to 99.8%, and not 100% because of rounding for presentation.)
Normal distributions are symmetrical, bell-shaped distributions that are useful in describing real-world data. The standard normal distribution, represented by Z, is the normal distribution having a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include: mounded (or unimodal), U-shaped, J-shaped, reverse-J shaped and multi-modal. [1] A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one. The shape of a distribution is ...
