A normal distribution simply enables you to convert your values, which are in some measurement unit, to normal deviates. Normal deviates (i.e. z-scores) allow you to use the table of normal values to compute probabilities under the normal curve.
In a standard normal distribution, the area under the curve to the right of the mean (mu) is 0.5. This is because the normal distribution is symmetric around the mean, and half of the total area (which equals 1) lies to the right of the mean and half to the left. Therefore, for any normal distribution where mu is the mean, the area to the right of mu is always 0.5.
A normal distribution is defined by its mean and standard deviation, which are sufficient to describe the entire curve. Once you know these two parameters, you can use the standard normal table (Z-table) to find probabilities for any normal distribution by standardizing values. This process involves converting any normal variable to a standard score (Z-score), which allows you to utilize the same table for all normal distributions. Therefore, only one normal table is needed for any probability under the normal curve.
The area under N(0,1) from -1 to 1 = 0.6826
The total area under a normal distribution is not infinite. The total area under a normal distribution is a continuous value between any 2 given values. The function of a normal distribution is actually defined such that it must have a fixed value. For the "standard normal distribution" where μ=0 and σ=1, the area under the curve is equal to 1.

The constant 1/sqrt(2pi) in the formula for the standard normal distribution is significant because it normalizes the distribution so that the total area under the curve equals 1. This ensures that the probabilities calculated from the distribution are accurate and meaningful.
Yes, it is true; and the 2 quantities that describe a normal distribution are mean and standard deviation.

The distribution of sample means will not be normal if the number of samples does not reach 30.
The area under the standard normal curve is 1.
The Z value is negative, but area is always positive.
