Document Summary
Contract with tribe"s chief, who will pay you. Measured various people in army, and come up with some of describing what typical size of armour was, because that is what you are going to build and get paid for. Calculate mean: 163 => average is 163cm. 380 + 260 = 640/4 = 160 => average is 160cm. Want to manufacture suits of armour and made at all 160cm; not good because too big for 190, too small for 130 individuals. Mean calculation can work with normal distribution well, but not as well with others. Normal curve distributed compared to two normal curves side by side and have our point in the midst between them. Instead of mean, can count what is most frequent value that shows up (mode two modes exist here: 130, and 190) bimodal distribution, but uses notion of what is most typical scores area. Helpful depending on what the question is, and what shape of distribution.
