It is sometimes called the "bell curve‚" although the tonal qualities of such a bell would be less than pleasing. It is also called the "Gaussian curve" after the mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss. As you will see in the section on the history of the normal distribution‚ although Gauss played an important role in its history‚ Abraham de Moivre first discovered the normal distribution

difficult to suggest what the comfortable view of normal is as there are many different perceptions‚ which should be considered. In the beginning of ‘Equus’ one considers the character of Martin Dysart to be normal as he rarely strays outside of societies boundaries. However‚ as we move through the play one discovers there is much more to Martin Dysart than once thought. In reality the themes dealt with in ‘Equus’ challenges our own sense of what is normal. They are as equally as shocking to Dysart‚ yet

Does asymptotic mean that the normal curve gets closer and closer to the X-axis but never actually touches it? Yes‚ asymptotic means that the curve of a line will approach 0 (the x-axis)‚ but it will not touch 0 and instead will extend to infinity. In this class‚ this applies to the normal continuous distribution and is one of the 4 key characteristics of a normal continuous distribution that our text book discusses. This means that the curve of the line will extend infinitely in both the negative

experiment‚ the average normal heart rate of Daphnia is 20 heart beats per 12.94 seconds. There were six total trials done for Normal Heart Rate with 2 Daphnia (3 Trials each). The aim of this experiment was to measure the effect of neurotransmitters on the heart rate of Daphnia. When the adrenaline was added to the liquid around Daphnia and after a few seconds‚ its heart rate sped up. For example‚ during the first trial‚ the heart rate went from 20 H.B. per 12.54 seconds (For Normal) to 20 H.B. per 8
