| In all natural processes,
scatter takes place. If, for example, a cylinder diameter is measured five times, five (slightly) different results will be obtained. This is due to the fact that in all natural processes random deviations occur. In general, these deviations have a bell-shaped distribution, as can be seen in the animation on the right.
This bell-shaped curve is named after its discoverer, the mathematician Johann Carl Friedrich Gauß, Gaussian bell curve or standard distribution. |
