Data Exploration: Normal Distribution

This lecture covers strategies for exploring data distributions, including identifying outliers, studying overall data structure, making graphical representations, and calculating numerical summaries. It also delves into modeling data with normal distributions, properties of normal densities, and the standard normal distribution. The instructor demonstrates how to calculate proportions using the normal model and interpret standardized values. Additionally, the lecture discusses tools for checking normality, such as histograms, boxplots, and QQ plots, and provides insights into estimating parameters of a normal distribution from data.
