Study Notes
Gaussian Distribution
- The Gaussian distribution is also known as the Normal Distribution or Bell Curve.
- It is characterized by a symmetrical, bell-shaped curve with a single peak at the mean, and tapering gradually to infinity in both directions.
Central Limit Theorem (CLT)
- The Central Limit Theorem describes how the distribution of random values will approach a Gaussian distribution as the number of values in a sum increases.
- As the number of values in a sum rises, the distribution of the sum will tend towards a Gaussian distribution, even if the individual values are not normally distributed.
Gaussian Distribution Applications
- The Gaussian distribution describes the distribution of continuous variables that are influenced by a large number of small, random factors, such as human heights, IQ scores, or errors in measurement.
