Mean is the average, sum total divided by total number of data entries.
Standard deviation is the square root of the sum total of the data values divided by the total number of data values.
The standard normal distribution is a distribution that closely resembles a bell curve.
No, the mean of a standard normal distribution is not equal to 1; it is always equal to 0. A standard normal distribution is characterized by a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This distribution is used as a reference for other normal distributions, which can have different means and standard deviations.
95 percent of measurements are less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean, assuming a normal distribution.
For a normal probability distribution to be considered a standard normal probability distribution, it must have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This standardization allows for the use of z-scores, which represent the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean. Any normal distribution can be transformed into a standard normal distribution through the process of standardization.
In a standard normal distribution, approximately 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations (±2σ) of the mean (μ). This means that if you take the mean and add or subtract two times the standard deviation, you capture the vast majority of the data points. This property is a key aspect of the empirical rule, which describes how data is spread in a normal distribution.
The probability of the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations is 0. The probability that a continuous distribution takes any particular value is always zero. The probability between the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations is 0.95
95% is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
99.7% of scores fall within -3 and plus 3 standard deviations around the mean in a normal distribution.

In a normal distribution, approximately 99.7% of scores fall within three standard deviations of the mean, according to the empirical rule. This means that only about 0.3% of scores lie beyond three standard deviations from the mean—0.15% in each tail. Thus, scores more than three standard deviations above or below the mean are quite rare.
When we say a distribution is normal, we refer to a statistical distribution that follows a bell-shaped curve, characterized by its symmetry about the mean. In a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations. This distribution is defined by its mean and standard deviation, and it is widely used in statistics due to the Central Limit Theorem, which states that the sum of many independent random variables tends toward a normal distribution, regardless of the original distribution.
