THE STANDARD

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
THE STANDARD NORMAL
DISTRIBUTION
which is denoted by Z, is also a normal distribution
having a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Since
the normal distribution can have different values for its
mean and standard deviation, it can be standardized by
setting the µ = 0 and the = 1.
