I was introduced to the idea that nature emulates a normal curve very early in
life.And that this principle will be found in the varieties of measurement from
intelligence to societal and cultural norms.A normal distribution is really a
statistical and academic delight.
Well with all that talk
Or could be that TIPSTERS fall 2 standard deviations below the mean,
as they are insulated in an academic cocoon safely removed from
reality.

You've got the order backwards.
A normal distribution often emulates (to a certain degree of accuracy) the

interesting study summary on CNN about how those new drinks that combine
alcohol with caffeine might be causing kids to be more aggressive - or that the
relationship could be the other way around they admitted -

lolthat's hillarious...the studies were pretty funny too (except
of course for the fact that money may have been wasted on them).
But what comes through clearly is that the public knows best...they
aren't fooled by the eggheads (thank God!).

Hi Michael
I wonder if you ought not to get your institution to remove the mention of

You don't even have to find the primary source (although I did find the

Very good Allen! I've been using this technique and my sheets still come out
looking halfway between the one on the right and the one on the left; of course
I don't have such a large accomodating table to work with, only the top of the
