The distribution under the normal curve can be seen a lot in society, although you may not even notice it Have you been watching the presidential candidate polls on tv? If you ever see the +- 3 that is beside the percentage given on if they are winning; that is the standard deviation This is exactly what they are referring to So really, how accurate are those polls? What do you think of the Republican nominees so far?
