For theoretical reasons (such as the central limit theorem), any variable that is the sum of a large number of independent factors is likely to be normally distributed. For this reason, the normal distribution is used throughout statistics, natural science, and social science as a simple model for complex phenomena.
Perhaps a mistaken impression, after completing an initial course in statistics, is that one distribution is better than another. Many other distributions exists. Usually, introductory statistics classes concern confidence limits, hypothesis testing and sample size determination which all involve a sampling distribution of a particular statistic such as the mean. The normal distribution is often the appropriate distribution in these areas. The normal distribution is appropriate when the random variable in question is the result of many small independent random variables that have been are summed . The attached link shows this very well. Theoretically, a random variable approaches the normal distribution as the sample size tends towards infinity. (Central limit theory) As a practical matter, it is very important that the contributing variables be small and independent.
Usually mu is the symbol for the mean of a probability distribution. It is sometimes used as the average of a dataset (also called the mean of the dataset), although I prefer to use "x bar".
Statistics for orchiectomies in connection with gender reassignment surgery are difficult to establish because most patients who have had this type of surgery prefer to keep it confidential.
This would be the average. When the numbers are all over the place, it is difficult to use them to come to conclusions.
Why we prefer Normal Distribution over the other distributions in Statistics

It is probably the most widely used distribution in statistics. In addition, a lot of information exists on this distribution.

It depends on the type of math you prefer. Calculus and Statistics are completely different classes that learn different things. Calculus is more of the numbers and formulas but statistics is a class about binomial distributions and what percent of your sample is in the correct area. It may be difficult, but it may be easy depending on who you are. In my opinion, it is very difficult.
We prefer mostly normal distribution, because most of the data around us follows normal distribution example height, weight etc. will follow normal. We can check it by plotting the graph then we can see the bell curve on the histogram. The most importantly by CLT(central limit theorem) and law of large numbers, we can say that as n is large the data follows normal distribution.

Depends on the person. I'd prefer a normal one.
It depends on the person go look at statistics
Mewtwo!But i personally prefer Mew because it can learn any TM!
people prefer white collor jobs instead of farmers who are hard working and white collor jobs recieve more loan
