Compute a z-score.Apply the empirical rule (68-95-99.7).Find x from a given z-score.Recognise the bell-shaped curve.
📚 Quick Recap
The normal distribution is the classic 'bell curve' — a continuous distribution that describes many natural phenomena, from heights to test scores, symmetric around its mean.
