      7 With normal distributions we often refer to them in regard to the standard normal distribution which is the normal distribution defined as the distribution centerd about 0 with a std deviation of 1. This is conveninent to project other graphs onto given that normal distributions don't have a percentile calculation in the closed form thus we use lookup tables.
