Talk:Bell curve (disambiguation)

Redirect?

It seems like this page should redirect to normal distribution, and a new bell curve (disambiguation) should contain the dab info here. Thoughts? -- JHunterJ 14:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the one hand, that's not only the main meaning, but it's the meaning that the other meanings rely on. On the other hand, probabilists and statisticians working with the normal distribution seldom if ever call it the bell curve, even though they all understand what that term means. They call it the normal distribution or the Gaussian distribution. Michael Hardy 18:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(I know this discussion is four years old, but...) it doesn't matter what term people use to refer to "normal distribution." What matters is what they're referring to when they use the term "bell curve." Propaniac (talk) 19:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(time goes by again...), JHunterJ I support the creation a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC redirect to normal distribution (so this dab would move to Bell curve (disambiguation). Thoughts Michael Hardy Propaniac. Widefox; talk 08:27, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
