a bell-shaped curve showing a particular distribution of probability over the values of a random variable.
Also called Gaussian curve, probability curve.

- Normal distribution curve
In statistics, the theoretical curve that shows how often an experiment will produce a particular result. The curve is symmetrical and bell shaped, showing that trials will usually give a result near the average, but will occasionally deviate by large amounts. The width of the “bell” indicates how much confidence one can have in the […]
