6.2 The Normal Distribution (pp. 220-231) You are not required to memorize the formula for the normal probability density function, but rather know the properties (symmetry and bell shape).

The normal distribution is also called the "Gaussian distribution" or "bell curve". A normal distribution has two parameters, the mean $\mu$, and the variance $\sigma^2$. The mean can be any real ...

The probability that a team favored by p points wins the game can be computed from a table of the standard normal distribution. This result is applied to estimate the probability distribution of the ...
