Normal distribution - Standard ˇ§bell-shapedˇ¨ or Gaussian distribution. It has two parameters called the mean and variance.

Cumulative distribution - A function that maps each value of a random variable to the probability that the random variable is less than or equal to that value. The function begins at 0 and rises to 1 as you move to the right (or, less commonly from 1 to 0 as you move to the left).
