Distribution

Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi. We will update this message again shortly.

The variation in the values of a variable.

The type of distribution can be described by the type of variable (e.g., continuous distribution, discrete distribution) or by the way the values were obtained (e.g., experimental distribution, population distribution, sample distribution). Other types of distribution described in this glossary are frequency distribution, sampling distribution, theoretical distribution.

See: continuous distribution, discrete distribution, experimental distribution, frequency distribution, population distribution, sample distribution, sampling distribution, theoretical distribution
