Thus, the mean ( μ) and standard deviation (σ) are the two parameters of the normal distribution (i.e.,
they dene the location and spread of the distribution, respectively).
The cumulative distribution of f(x) is denoted as F(x) and is dened as follows:
F x f x x x

Since the normal distribution is symmetrical about mean, F(x) = 0.5 denes the 50th percentile
value. Thus, the 50th percentile value equals the mean (μ).
Percentile values are used to evaluate accommodation with respect to a given variable (x)
(i.e.,what percentage of the population ...
