Normal Distribution Animated Tutorial

Source: R/tutorial_statistics.R
normal_distribution_tutorial.Rd

A comprehensive animated tutorial that builds intuition for the normal (Gaussian) distribution step by step:

  1. Title card introducing the topic

  2. Bell curve construction – axes appear, then the PDF is drawn

  3. Mean and standard deviation – annotated on the curve

  4. The 68-95-99.7 rule – successive shaded regions

  5. Standard normal vs. general normal – side-by-side comparison

  6. Cumulative distribution – CDF curve and probability lookup

  7. Sampling demonstration – histogram of random samples converging

  8. Summary card
