Bell Curve and Normal Distribution & Political Philosophy Populations of anything in the natural world usually fall into a normal distribution pattern, with most values falling in the middle of the range and smaller numbers to either side.

Bell Curve and Normal Distribution & Political Philosophy

% 15% 67% 15% 2% SD Mean SD SD = Standard Deviation Mathematical formula for determining equal distance of distribution. Normal Distribution of population

Any population that has diversity within it will yield a bell curve. Sometimes it will be skewed to the left or right, sometimes it will be very sharply defined around a median figure other times the distribution will be very broad.

Example: Gun Control Laws Confiscation more laws Compromise few laws All Guns!!! Extremist Moderate Extremist
