Definitions:

Normal Model N(73,9.2)

A statistical representation of a normal distribution with a mean (average) of 73 and a standard deviation of 9.2.

Normal Model

A statistical representation where most occurrences happen around the central peak and probabilities for values decrease as they move away from the mean.

Standard Deviation

A statistical measure of the dispersion or variability in a dataset, indicating how spread out the numbers are from the mean.

Normal Model

A statistical model that describes how data points are distributed around the mean, assuming a symmetrical bell-shaped curve known as the normal distribution.
