The Normal distribution is frequntly encountered in real life. Often a matter of interest is how likely it is that the random variable (RV) being studied takes a value that it did or one that is more extreme. This requires a comparison of the observed value of the RV with its Normal distribution. Unfortunately, the general Normal distribution is extremely difficult to calculate.
The Normal distribution is defined by two parameters: the mean and the variance (or standard deviation). It is impossible to tabulate the distribution of every possible combination of two parameters - both of which are continuous real numbers. However, using Z score reduces the problem to that of tabulating only one the Normal distribution: the N(0, 1) or standard Normal distribution. This allows the analysis of an RV with any Normal distribution.

What is the purpose of a residual analysis in simple linear regression?
One of the main reasons for doing so is to check that the assumptions of the errors being independent and identically distributed is true. If that is not the case then the simple linear regression is not an appropriate model.
What is the purpose of warehousing and distribution?
The purpose of warehousing is to provide a safe building to store goods. The purpose of distribution is a place to stock products to be redistributed to retailers, wholesalers, and consumers.
