ANSWER
1 bell shape
2 to find probability when sampling
EXPLANATION
1 In a normal distribution, the mode,mean and median are equal.
As a result, the distribution is neither skewed to the right or left.
The shape of the normal distribution looks like a bell.
That is why it is also called the bell curve.
2. The area under the normal curve is 1.
The line of symmetry of the bell shaped distribution divides it into two halves with area 0.5 each.
The normal curve is therefore used to find the probabilities of a sample distributions.
