In a normal distribution, the probability of obtaining values at the tail ends (i.e., extreme values) is less likely than obtaining values close to the mean. This is because the normal distribution is symmetrical around the mean, so there is less area (and thus less probability) in the tail ends compared to the middle section of the distribution.
