Typographic error[edit]

In a normal distribution, the points enclosing the central 95% of values are ±1.96σ, and not ±1.98σ, as this picture gives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterMartinShabs (talk • contribs) 16:35, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. I fixed this. – voidxor 06:02, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not only that, the so-called normal distribution here just plain isn't shaped right. It's not pointy enough at the top, for example. It's not just any bell-shaped curve after all. BenFrantzDale (talk) 18:45, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other errors[edit]

See the discussion taking place at en:Talk:Statistics#Normal distribution picture is not correct. I agree (with the other users involved in that discussion) that this image is extremely misleading. - dcljr (talk) 02:32, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
