curve created on a graph when using a frequency distribution method for a set of data‚ splitting the mean symmetrically. There is a big difference between standard deviation and the bell curve! Standard deviation shows the difference in variation from the average; the bell curve‚ also normal distribution or Gaussian distribution‚ shows the standard deviation and is created by the normal or equal distribution of the mean among either half. The bell curve is an important distribution pattern occurring

Suppose‚ however‚ that the true resistance of each one is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 6 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.3 ohm. What is the probability that the combined resistance will exceed 19 ohms? How "precise" would the manufacturing process have to be to make the probability less than 0.005 that the combined resistance of the circuit would exceed
