  • Moved “Properties of Continuous Probability Distributions” heading and content from the Introduction to Section 5.1 Continuous Probability Functions

Chapter 6: The Normal Distribution and The Central Limit Theorem

  • Moved “Normal Distribution parameters” content from the Introduction to Section 6.1 The Standard Normal Distribution
  • Content brought in from 5.2 Normal Distribution in Significant Statistics for use in our Sections 6.1 and 6.2
  • Removed “For that reason, as well as the fact that there are various table formats, we are not including table instructions.” from 6.1
