How can you believe in the normal distribution if it's just a Gauss?

>> No.1911011

Wow.

How can you believe in cgs unit of measurement of a magnetic field if it is just a Gauss?

>> No.1911014

well eh, normal distributions work?

From wikipedia:

In probability theory, the normal (or Gaussian) distribution, is a continuous probability distribution that is often used as a first approximation to describe real-valued random variables that tend to cluster around a single mean value. The graph of the associated probability density function is “bell”-shaped, and is known as the Gaussian function or bell curve:[nb 1]

f(x) = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}\; e^{ -\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} },
