The document discusses a lecture on the normal distribution given by Dr. Holly Ott at the TUM School of Management. It introduces the normal distribution, its probability density function parameters, characteristics of its graph, and the goal of understanding how centering and reducing variability affects a process.

Learning Objectives Discuss the Normal probability distribution for continuous random variables, the context in which it is useful, and its important characteristics. Use the standard normal distribution table to calculate population proportions. Perform the transformation of any normally distributed random variables to the standard normal and calculate population proportions. Understand the effect of centering a process and reducing the variability of a process

The Normal Distribution
A random variable X is said to have the normal distribution with parameters and 2, if its probability density function is given by:
1 f (x ) = e 2
1 x 2
, < x < , > 0
X ~ N(,2)

The Normal Distribution
f(x)
1. It is asymptotic with respect to
the x-axis 2. It is symmetric with respect to a vertical line at x = 3. The maximum value of f(x) occurs at x = x
