Most biological processes are modelled and assumed as being normally distributed due to the central limit theorem.
If you were talking about how much sperm they had exponential would indeed be better. But we’re not. Just if they have any.
If the average time it takes is 2,5 months, you should expect to wait on average 2,5 months, not 4.
That is indeed not the same as asking when do 83% of men have sperm, since 83% is not the average.
- anon291 3y ago> Most biological processes are modelled and assumed as being normally distributed due to the central limit theorem. Things cannot be distributed where the distribution has values the thing can never have. The time until an event cannot be negative. The cdf of a normal distribution always has a non-zero value at zero. There is no chance a sperm is ejaculated before it's made. That's a logical impossibility. Thus time to first sperm is absolutely not normally distributed.
