Gaussian curves, normal curves and bell curves are synonymous. Each represents how statistical data with normal distribution plots on a graph. Normal distribution describes a particular way ...

The concept of the normal curve, also known as the Gaussian distribution or bell curve, is foundational in understanding how data is distributed in many natural phenomena. It's a pattern that ...

Also known as the normal distribution, the term "bell curve" originates from the fact that the graph used to depict a normal distribution consists of a symmetrical bell-shaped curve.

The chart below depicts three curves of increasing right-skewness, with fat tails to the downside—and which differ from the symmetrical bell curve shape of the normal distribution. Right skewness.
