What requirements are necessary for a normal probability distribution to be a standard normal probability distribution?
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.
How do you calculate probability given mean and standard deviation?
The mean and standard deviation do not, by themselves, provide enough information to calculate probability. You also need to know the distribution of the variable in question.
Is the mean of probability distribution is called its expected value?
No. The mean is the expected value of the random variable but you can also have expected values of functions of the random variable. If you define X as the random variable representing the result of a single throw of a fair die, the expected value of X is 3.5, the mean of the probability distribution of X. However, you play a game where you pay someone a certain amount of money for each throw of the die and the other person pays you your "winnings" which depend on the outcome of the throw. The variable, "your winnings", will also have an expected value. As will your opponent's winnings.
What does it mean normal distribution?
The Normal distribution is a probability distribution of the exponential family. It is a symmetric distribution which is defined by just two parameters: its mean and variance (or standard deviation. It is one of the most commonly occurring distributions for continuous variables. Also, under suitable conditions, other distributions can be approximated by the Normal. Unfortunately, these approximations are often used even if the required conditions are not met!
From a uniform distribution why is the total area under the curve equal to 1?
Because the area under the curve is a probability and probabilities range from 0.00 to 1.00 or could also be written as 0% to 100%
