One of the most widely used curves in statistics is the normal curve given by
where ? is the population mean and ? is the population standard deviation. This tutorial is about exploring the properties such as shape and position of the graph of f as ? and ? are changed.

1 - Click on the button above to start the applet.
2 - Use the sliders to set ? = 0 and change ?. How does ? affect the graph of function f?
3 - Use the sliders to set ? = 1 and change ?. How does ? affect the graph of function f?
4 - A standard normal distribution is a normal distribution given by function f above with ? = 0 and ? = 1. Set ? = 0 and ? = 1 to obtain a standard normal distribution and take note of its properties such as symmetry with respect to y axis.
