Remarks

Normal distributions are a family of distributions that have the same general shape. They are symmetric with outcomes more concentrated in the middle than in the tails. Normal distributions are sometimes described as bell shaped.

The Mean of the distribution acts as the location parameter. The standard deviation (which equals the square root of the ) acts as the scale parameter. The normal distribution does not have a shape parameter.
