Mr. Meosis explains the normal model using car fuel efficiency as an example. He demonstrates how to calculate the percentage of cars with different fuel efficiencies using the normal distribution. The video covers three examples: cars getting less than 15 MPG, more than 40 MPG, and between 20 and 30 MPG. The use of a calculator and the importance of understanding Z-scores are emphasized.
