what is normal distribution curve , how do we use it
#1
A normal distribution curve is a graphical representation of a normal distribution, which is a type of probability distribution that is symmetrical around the mean. It is also known as a bell curve because of its shape.
 
In a normal distribution, the majority of the data is concentrated around the mean, and the values become increasingly rare as they get further from the mean. This means that, in a normal distribution, there are fewer extreme values and more values that are close to the mean.
 
Normal distribution curves are often used in statistics and data science to represent data that follows a normal distribution. They can be used to visualize the distribution of a dataset and to identify patterns or trends in the data.
 
One way to use a normal distribution curve in a dataset is to fit a curve to the data and use it to make predictions about future outcomes. For example, if you have a dataset of test scores and you want to predict the probability that a student will score above a certain threshold, you can fit a normal distribution curve to the data and use it to calculate the probability.
 
Another way to use a normal distribution curve in a dataset is to use it to identify outliers. If the data does not follow a normal distribution, it may be necessary to transform the data in order to make it more normally distributed. This can be done using a variety of techniques, such as log transformation or standardization.
