THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION AND ITS LIMITS OF APPLICABILITY,

Abstract

This study is a probe into the application of normal distribution and describes the limits of mathematical description of the distribution of a technical characteristic through normal distribution, including the fitting of a population distribution through normal distribution by transformation of a statistically distributed characteristic. Finally, there is a discussion of the necessary numbers of units to be tested in order to measure a low probability. (Author)
