A Value Curve was first used by Accor, a French hotel chain in 1985. Value Curves were first described in a paper authored by W Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne entitled, "Value Innovation: The Strategic Logic of High Growth," published in HBR in January, 1997. This paper has generated more reprints for HBR than any other paper published in HBR in the 1990's.
Value curves have been popularized in Kim and Mauborgne's "best selling" book, "Blue Ocean Strategy," HBS Press, March 2005.
A Value Curve is divided into two halves. On the left side are the Elements of Performamce. These Elements, in aggregate, define the product or service. On the right side of the curve is the value delivered to the most important customer for each of these Elements.
Value Curves with metrics are an elegantly simple way (one ppt slide) of describing project goals to project team members, stakeholders and senior management.

the shape of the curve skewed is "right"
bell curve
A fraction is a single value. At is neither a graph nor a curve.
Average total inspection curve ( ATI curve)
bell curve i believe is the word your looking for..Its called Normal Distribution :)
Value curves are relatively simple but a powerful tool. A value curve analysis tells a company that what customers value and how they can meet the customer's need and competition.

The demand curve for a commodity is moved based on its overall value. If many people wish to buy it, the curve will go up and if it drops in sales, the curve will fall as well.

y=0. note. this is a very strange "curve". If y=0 then any value of x satisfies the equation, leading to a curve straight along the y axis. For any non-zero value of y the curve simplifies to y = -x. The curve is not differentiable at the origin.

The derivative at any point in a curve is equal to the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point. Doing it in terms of the actual expression of the curve, find the derivative of the curve, then plug the x-value of the point into the derivative to find the derivative at that point.
