    The document discusses key concepts related to normal distributions and standard scores including that: 1) In a normal distribution, 68.26% of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean and 95.44% fall within two standard deviations. 2) Standard scores like z-scores and t-scores indicate how many standard deviations a value is from the mean, with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1 or 10 respectively. 3) Stanine scores divide a normal distribution into 9 parts with a mean of 5 and standard deviation of approximately 2.
