The standard normal distribution is a continuous distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The following is true: About 68% of all outcomes lie within 1 St.Dev. About 95% of all outcomes lie within 2 St.Devs. About 99.7% of all outcomes lie within 3 St. Devs. The probability/percentage/percentile for a normal distribution is the area under the curve. You will ALWAYS BE CALCULATING OVER AN INTERVAL. Values outside of 2 St.Devs. are considered “unusual values.”...
