What are the different types of data distributions?

There are several types of data distributions, including normal, binomial, Poisson, and uniform distributions. Each has unique characteristics.

Can you explain the normal distribution?

The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, is symmetric and characterized by its bell-shaped curve. It is defined by its mean and standard deviation.

What is the significance of the central limit theorem?

The central limit theorem states that the distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases, regardless of the original distribution.

How do I test if my data follows a specific distribution?

You can use statistical tests like the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or the Chi-squared test to determine if your data follows a specific distribution.
