Generation

The normal distribution is a bell-shaped curve that describes how many types of data naturally cluster around an average value. Most observations fall near the middle (the mean), while fewer and fewer occur as you move toward the extremes in either direction. It's characterized by two parameters: the mean (which centers the curve) and the standard deviation (which controls how spread out the data is). About 68% of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three—a pattern called the empirical rule.
