The normal
distribution
This chapter deals with the application of the
properties of the standard normal distribution to the
solution of real problems.
The main mathematical ideas investigated are:
▶ determining standardised scores (z-scores)
▶ using z-scores to compare data sets
▶ drawing frequency graphs
▶ identifying normal distributions
▶ using the properties of normally distributed data.
