2. The area under the density curve is interpreted as a ____________.

Answer 1

Gaussian distribution can be used to model the distribution of a single random variable.

Area under the density curve is also interpreted as p values.

The p-value is defined as the probability, under the null hypothesis, here simply denoted by {\displaystyle H} (but is often denoted {\displaystyle H_{0}}, as opposed to {\displaystyle H_{a}}, which is sometimes used to represent the alternative hypothesis), of obtaining a result equal to or more extreme than what was actually observed.
