Hello hello !!

I would like to tell you about meaning of both the terms. Firstly, Distribution in statistics :

A distribution is a function or a listing which shows all the possible values of the data. It also tells you how often each value occurs. However, the data in a distribution will be ordered from smallest to largest.

From a distribution you can calculate the probability of any one particular observation in the sample space.

Secondly, Normal distribution curve :

The normal distribution curve is also known as gaussian distribution is the most important probability distribution in statistics for independent and random variables.

It is a continuous probability distribution that is symmetrical about its mean , most of the observations cluster around the central peak and the probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off equally  in both directions.

I Hope you got your solution.

Thank you!!
