- amelius 10y ago> This looks a lot like a normal distribution, and in fact it is one, if np and n(1-p) are both over 5. How can it be a normal distribution when the values on the "x"-axis cannot be negative?
- alderz 10y agoBecause it is a mathematical model, and a reasonable one. When you have p( 211 to 220 ) = .0002 as in the article you don't need to consider negative values. The power of mathematical models comes from their ability to abstract these details.
