Entailment: The normal distribution is the most important probability distribution in statistics because it fits many natural phenomena. For example, the heights, weights, measurement error, IQ scores and blood pressure. Many people, especially the old ones tend to set aside small things that later on have a great impact in their life especially in their health, just like their blood sugar and blood pressure.
