Histogram

Normal Distribution
A statistical distribution where most occurrences take place near the mean, and fewer occurrences happen as you move further from the mean, forming a bell curve.
Empirical Rule
Also known as the 68-95-99.7 Rule, it states that for a normal distribution, nearly all data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
Central Limit Theorem
A statistical theory that states that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution as the sample size becomes larger, regardless of the population's distribution.
Bucket Sort
A sorting algorithm that distributes elements into a number of buckets, sorts each bucket individually, and then combines the buckets to get the sorted list.
Three-Sigma Rule
A statistical rule stating that nearly all values in a normal distribution (99.7%) lie within three standard deviations (sigma) of the mean.
