Talk:Bell curve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Redirect?

It seems like this page should redirect to normal distribution, and a new bell curve (disambiguation) should contain the dab info here. Thoughts? -- JHunterJ 14:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

On the one hand, that's not only the main meaning, but it's the meaning that the other meanings rely on. On the other hand, probabilists and statisticians working with the normal distribution seldom if ever call it the bell curve, even though they all understand what that term means. They call it the normal distribution or the Gaussian distribution. Michael Hardy 18:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
