Also called normal curve, is distribution of data where the mean, median, and mode are equal,
the distribution is clustered at the center, the graph is a bell-shaped curve, and symmetrical.
1. The distribution curve is bell-shaped.
4. The width of the curve is determined by the standard deviation of the distribution.
5. The tails of the curve flatten out indefinitely along the horizontal axis, always approaching
the axis but never touching it. That is, the curve is asymptotic to the base line.
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.
The areas under the normal curve are given in terms of 𝑧-values or
scores.
A = 0.4265
A = 0.4913
EXAMPLE 3: Find the area under the standard
normal curve between 𝑧 = 0 and the following 𝑧-
scores. (use the Table of Areas under the Normal Curve)
A = 0.4706
0.4772 – 0.3413 =
0.1359
EXAMPLE 4: Find the area under the standard
normal curve bounded by the following pairs of 𝑧-
scores.
