Step-by-step explanation:

A normal distribution is defined as a bell-shaped distribution curve were most values of the data seem to cluster around the mean. Data for intelligence, height, blood pressure, students reports, shoe sizes, birth weight, income of citizens, technical stock market, rolling a dice, tossing a coin e. t. c are examples of situations that will give data which can be modeled by a normal distribution. In this case, the central limit theory applies, where various independent factors will influence a specific trait.
