The video tutorial explains how to analyze a normal distribution with a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 6. It covers calculating the percentage of data above a certain value, between two values, and determining the values in the top 20% of the distribution using z-scores and standard deviation. The tutorial includes drawing and shading bell curves to visualize the data distribution and using z-score tables to find specific percentages.
