Normal distribution

II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, sociologists and physicians at the Wentworth Medical Center in upstate New York investigated the relationship between geographic location, health status ( healthy or one or more comorbidities), and depression.  Random samples of 20 healthy individuals were selected from three geographic locations: Florida, New York, and North Carolina.  Then, each was given a standardized test to measure depression

Traditional strategies and asset pricing often rely on a normal bell curves to make market assumptions, but in reality, the markets do not behave this way. Under a normal distribution, a majority of asset variation falls within 3 standard deviations away from its mean which often understates risk and volatility. Unfortunately, the historical landscape of financial markets does not act normally, but rather exhibits fatter tails than a normal curve would predict. By definition, fat tails are a statistical

The Strive for Perfection We live in a world that the attempt to be normal is inevitable, if you have a disability; you are told you can’t do most things, if you look different than the majority you get discriminated. Deafness is viewed as a disability that needs to be fixed, due to a hearing society where hearing is the norm. Deafness is at a threat for extinction, due to the push to “fix” it. Sometime in the near future with genetic testing targeting to remove the deaf gene, could inversely cause
