What does it mean to be normal in the world of statistics? Pupils first explore the meaning of a normal distribution in the eight-lesson module. They then apply the statistics related to normal distributions such as mean, standard deviation, and z-scores. They investigate sampling, experiments, surveys, observational studies, and simulation in the next lessons of this module.
