Why do US election voter turnouts always show a bell curve ?

>> No.12671705

If you model a random system, bell curves naturally appear. With a large population size, you can think of each voter turning out as having some probability p, and you will end up with a bell curve centered at p.

The only retard here is you. When you're talking about millions of people, their individual motivations and factors disappear. In physics we model basically all large systems using random motion for this reason

You'll have to be more specific. A bell curve measuring what?

That'd explain it. Only a physicist will apply CLT without thinking it through

That's retarded. People are not atoms.

In the context of a large sample size, they basically are.
