The application of the Poisson distribution thereby enables managers to introduce optimal scheduling systems that would not work with, say, a normal distribution. One of the most famous historical ...

A normal distribution curve will therefore not be a good description of phenomena that have more frequent extreme outcomes or asymmetrical deviations from the mean. Such distributions with a greater ...

In a right-skewed distribution, the mean will be larger than the median, and the standard deviation is not related to specific percentiles, as was the case for the normal distribution. Figure 2 A ...
