Define a normal random variable?
I have included two links. A normal random variable is a random variable whose associated probability distribution is the normal probability distribution. By definition, a random variable has to have an associated distribution. The normal distribution (probability density function) is defined by a mathematical formula with a mean and standard deviation as parameters. The normal distribution is ofter called a bell-shaped curve, because of its symmetrical shape. It is not the only symmetrical distribution. The two links should provide more information beyond this simple definition.
What is the difference between beta and normal distribution?
The probability density functions are different in shape and the domain. The domain of the beta distribution is from 0 to 1, while the normal goes from negative infinite to positive infinity. The shape of the normal is always a symmetrical, bell shape with inflection points on either sides of the mean. The beta distribution can be a variety of shapes, symmetrical half circle, inverted (cup up) half circle, or asymmetrical shapes. Normal distribution has many applications in classical hypothesis testing. Beta has many applications in Bayesian analysis. The uniform distribution is considered a specialized case of the beta distribution. See related links.
Describe the population density and distribution in Italy?
Uneven distribution
What is the difference between a probability density curve and cummulative distribution function?
what is density curve
Is normal distribution also a probability distribution?
Yes. When we refer to the normal distribution, we are referring to a probability distribution. When we specify the equation of a continuous distribution, such as the normal distribution, we refer to the equation as a probability density function.
Is a distribution symmetrical if the tails on both ends of the density curve that represents it are not close to identical?
false
Is normal distribution symmetrical?
Yes. By definition. A normal distribution has a bell-shaped density curve described by its mean and standard deviation. The density curve is symmetrical(i.e., an exact reflection of form on opposite sides of a dividing line), and centered about (divided by) its mean, with its spread (width) determined by its standard deviation. Additionally, the mean, median, and mode of the distribution are equal and located at the peak (i.e., height of the curve).

Distinguish between binomial distribution and normal distribution?
Normal distribution is the continuous probability distribution defined by the probability density function. While the binomial distribution is discrete.
The relative distribution of charge density on the surface of a conducting solid depends on what?
the density of the conductor
What is the difference between a probability density curve and cummulative distribution function?

The probability density of the standardized normal distribution is?
The probability density of the standardized normal distribution is described in the related link. It is the same as a normal distribution, but substituted into the equation is mean = 0 and sigma = 1 which simplifies the formula.
What is underlying distribution?
Underlying distribution is a concept that describes the density for the value of the measurement. It is a theoretical concept.
