Clarification request(s) and response
Neva M. (asker): 12:13am Mar 3, 2005: Tengo que especificar que éste no es un texto, sino una enumeración de temas. Así que, desgraciadamente, no hay contexto. Pero tiene que haber una correspondencia exacta.
Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: 12:16am Mar 3, 2005: Yes. They are talking about the average (valor medio) the median (mediana) the mode (moda) standard
deviation (sigma dispersion estandar) percentiles.
This is very reasonable. All of these go together. -

standard bell curve
Explanation:
Campana meaning "bell", this could be a fitting translation, although "normal distribution" also appears to be correct. This is why I am putting only "medium" confidence.

Bell curve (note the reference to normal distribution): A normal curve; normal distribution, a theoretical distribution with finite mean end variants.

I gave my answer based on the context. The context points to this being a reference to
normal distribution (one of the many types of distribution used in the sciences and
statistics.
