The Normal distribution is by far the most important and useful probability distribution in statistics, with many applications in economics, engineering, astronomy, medicine, error and variation analysis, etc. The Normal distribution is often called the bell curve, due to its distinctive shape.. ). Let x. i. ~ N(. μ. i. , σ), then the probability density function is defined as. :. Letting: are . independent identical distributed with normal distribution, then the joint distribution of . 6-4: Checking for Normality. Normally distributed variables. Over the last few days, we have solved several problems involving normally distributed variables. We were able to use the standard normal (z) distribution to solve these problems.
