The Bell Curve (Normal/Gaussian Distribution) Explained in One Minute: From Definition to Examples
If we measure people's height and display the results graphically, we'll notice that in most cases, we'll end up with something that looks like... you've guessed it, a bell.
The bell curve or Gaussian distribution is remarkably common when measuring anything from people's shoe size or even their IQ.
But what's the definition of the bell curve?
The term "Gaussian distribution" may sound misleadingly complicated at first, but fortunately, understanding the basics is not complicated at all.
I've explained the bell curve by, on the one hand, defining it and on the other hand, by illustrating everything through easy-to-understand Gaussian distribution examples.
After watching this video, you'll go from "kind of, sort of" knowing what this "Gauss curve thingy" is to meaningfully understanding Gaussian distribution.
Whether people refer to it as simply the bell curve or use the more sophisticated Gaussian distribution terminology, the bottom line is this: there's just no way to wrap your head around statistics without understanding the bell curve.
