The Gaussian distribution can be seen through the
everyday example
of shooting at a target. To see
how the shots are distributed about the bull's eye in both the
horizontal and vertical planes.
These distributions are symmetrical and continuous. The
shots can plotted either as points on the target or as projected
histograms on the vertical and horizontal axes, which illustrate better the form
of the distributions. You can improve your aim by reducing the
standard deviation (sd)
