PHYS 255. Probability Distributions. Q: Why should we care about probability distributions? Why not just focus on the data?. A: Outliers. We want to know how probable are the outliers of large market moves, so we can control our exposure and risk. It is also known as the Gaussian distribution and the bell curve. .. The general form of its probability density function is-. Normal Distribution in . Statistics. The normal distribution is the most important probability distribution in statistics because it fits many natural phenomena. .
