Pareto analysis or algorithm or standard normal distribution
Pareto analysis or algorithm or standard normal distribution? standard normal distribution A normal distribution with a mean of zero and a variance of 1. Any other normal distribution can be converted to this standard, allowing the use of standard normal tables to analyze the original distributions. Click here for Hint
