No. The Student's t-distribution, for example, is also bell shaped.
A bell shaped probability distribution curve is NOT necessarily a normal distribution.
A normalized probability distribution curve has an area under the curve of 1.Note: I said "normalized", not "normal". Do not confuse the terms.
The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, has a familiar "bell curve" shape and approximates many different naturally occurring distributions over real numbers.
Yes. The total area under any probability distribution curve is always the probability of all possible outcomes - which is 1.
100%. And that is true for any probability distribution.
No, the normal curve is not the meaning of the Normal distribution: it is one way of representing it.
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.
The Normal curve is a graph of the probability density function of the standard normal distribution and, as is the case with any continuous random variable (RV), the probability that the RV takes a value in a given range is given by the integral of the function between the two limits. In other words, it is the area under the curve between those two values.
If the question is to do with a probability distribution curve, the answer is ONE - whatever the values of mu and sigma. The area under the curve of any probability distribution curve is 1.
False. A normalized distribution curve (do not confuse normalized with normal), by definition, has an area under the curve of exactly 1. That is because the probability of all possible events is also always exactly 1. The shape of the curve does not matter.
what is density curve
Yes, it is true; and the 2 quantities that describe a normal distribution are mean and standard deviation.
