A normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution that can be described as a symmetrical "bell"-shaped curve pattern. It is also referred to as the Gaussian normal distribution or Gaussian distribution. It is the most commonly used distribution in statistics. In a normal distribution, the values are arranged so that the average values are in the middle and the extreme values are at the edge.
