What is the 'Normal Distribution'. The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian or standard normal distribution, is the probability distribution that plots all of its values in a symmetrical fashion, and most of the results are situated around the probability's mean. Values are equally likely to plot either above or below the mean.
Definition of a Mg. A milligram (mg) is a metric system unit that represents a thousandth of a gram. Because of its larger size, a mg is a more commonly used measurement than a mcg. One thousandth of a mg is one mcg, and 1,000 mcg equal one mg.
A: One gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams. The conversion factor for grams to milligrams is 1,000, so to determine the number of milligrams from grams, simply multiply the number of grams by 1,000. Grams and milligrams are both units of mass in the metric system. The abbreviation for the gram is g, while the abbreviation for milligram is mg. Grams are a very common unit of measurement used in everyday life, and milligrams are typically used for smaller units of mass such as with medications and in pharmacies.
