2 days ago · The normal distribution, also called the Gaussian distribution, is a probability distribution commonly used to model phenomena such as physical characteristics (e.g. height, weight, etc.) and test scores. Due to its shape, it is often referred to as the bell curve: The graph of a normal distribution with mean of 0 0 and standard deviation of 1 1.
5 days ago · Use the following steps to calculate common test statistics from z-tests and t-tests: 1. Find the raw scores of the populations. Assume you want to perform a z-test to determine whether the means of two populations are equal. To calculate the z-score, find the raw scores for both populations you're evaluating.
4 days ago · The multivariate normal distribution is said to be "non-degenerate" when the symmetric covariance matrix is positive definite. In this case the distribution has density [5] where is a real k -dimensional column vector and is the determinant of , also known as the generalized variance.
6 days ago · The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when and , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): The variable has a mean of 0 and a variance and standard deviation of 1.
6 days ago · The normal distribution is a theoretical distribution of values for a population. Often referred to as a bell curve when plotted on a graph, data with a normal distribution tends to accumulate around a central value; the frequency of values above and below the center decline symmetrically.

Kristen shares her journey from experiencing a stroke at age 31 and returning to the workplace to being a vocal disability activist and finding her new “normal.”
