    Often sampling is done in order to estimate the proportion of a population that has a specific characteristic.

A normal distribution is a perfectly symmetric, mound-shaped distribution. It is commonly referred to the as a normal curve, or bell curve. Because so many real data sets closely approximate a normal distribution, we can use the idealized normal curve to learn a great deal about such data.

The proba...The probability distribution of a discrete random variable X is a list of each possible value of X together with the probability that X takes that value in one trial of the experiment. The probabilities in the probability distribution of a random variable X must satisfy the following two conditions: Each probability P(x) must be between 0 and 1  and the sum of all the probabilities is 1 .

A random variable is called discrete if its possible values form a finite or countable set. A random variable is called continuous if its possible values contain a whole interval of numbers.

It estimates the proportion of the measurements that lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean. Chebyshev’s Theorem is a fact that applies to all possible data sets. It describes the minimum proportion of the measurements that lie must within one, two, or more standard deviations of the mean.
