What is Normal Distribution?

Statistics

정규분포

A distribution that forms a symmetric bell shape around its mean. Many statistical tools are built on the assumption of this shape. Market returns, however, have fatter tails than this shape implies, so abrupt moves that should in theory almost never happen occur far more often in practice.
