CHAPTER
The Normal
Distribution
Introduction
A branch of mathematics that uses probability is called statistics. Statistics is
the branch of mathematics that uses observations and measurements called
data to analyze, summarize, make inferences, and draw conclusions based on
the data gathered. This chapter will explain some basic concepts of statistics
such as measures of average and measures of variation. Finally, the
relationship between probability and normal distribution will be explained
in the last two sections.
