Question
Define Standard normal variate
Solution
A random variable Z = `("X" – mu)/sigma` follows the standard normal distribution.
Z is called the standard normal variate with mean 0 and standard deviation 1 i.e Z – N (0, 1).
Its Probability density function is given by:
φ(z) = `1/sqrt(2pi) "e"^((-x^2)/2) -oo < "z" < oo`
