The Normal distribution is the bell-curve model that turns continuous data into exam-ready probabilities, percentiles and modelling decisions. Pearson Edexcel expects more than a calculator answer: candidates must interpret μ and σ², show the correct event, and use continuity correction when linking to the binomial distribution. Master the routine and this becomes one of the most reliable sources of Paper 3 marks.
