A standard deviation normal curve is a normal probability
distribution that has a mean, μ = 0 and a standard deviation, s = 1. The normal probability distribution has the following properties: 1. The distribution curve is bell-shaped. 2. The curve is a symmetrical about its center 3. The mean, the median, and the mode concide at the center 4. The width of the curve is determined by the standard deviation of the distribution 5. The tails of the curve is determined by the standard deviation of the distribution 6. The area under the curve is 1. Thus, it represents the probability or proportion or the percentage associated with specific sets of measurement values. Useful computing formuals 𝑥−𝜇 1. 𝑧 = σ 2. X = μ + zσ for computing a raw score above the mean 3. X = μ+ (-z)σ for computing a raw score below the mean
