Normal Distribution - Occurrence

Occurrence

The occurrence of normal distribution in practical problems can be loosely classified into three categories:

  1. Exactly normal distributions;
  2. Approximately normal laws, for example when such approximation is justified by the central limit theorem; and
  3. Distributions modeled as normal – the normal distribution being the distribution with maximum entropy for a given mean and variance.

Famous quotes containing the word occurrence:

    “One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
