This threat can be minimal when process times follow a heavy-tailed distribution.

Specifically, it is not typically important whether the error term follows a normal distribution.

But the name also assumed that such events followed a normal distribution, which was surely not true.

Different factors would be required to estimate the standard deviation if the population did not follow a normal distribution.

The grades received by the students generally follow a distribution of:

The number of "words" that don't appear should follow a known distribution.

The number of floats needed to reach 1 should follow a certain distribution.

Since the service rate here does not depend on state, the s simply follow a geometric distribution.

Each of the two populations being compared should follow a normal distribution.
