Standard Deviations

Measures that express the variability or spread in a set of data from its mean, showing how much variation there is from the average.

Normal Curve

A symmetrical, bell-shaped curve representing the distribution of a set of data where most occurrences take place in the middle of the range and taper off toward either end.

Z Score
