Visualizing Probability Distributions

<p>I was in my high school statistics class. My eyes glazed over. The teacher talked about normal distributions and standard deviations. It wasn&rsquo;t until I stumbled upon an illustrated book in the library that I saw these concepts in a new light. The book used graphics to show probability distributions. They changed them from equations to something I could see and almost feel. That was my &lsquo;aha&rsquo; moment. Abstract numbers turned into something tangible and lovely.</p> <p>Let&rsquo;s start with the basics. A probability distribution is a math function. It gives the probabilities of possible outcomes in an experiment. But let&rsquo;s ditch the jargon and instead create a series of paintings. Each painting shows a type of distribution. The patterns and colors show the likelihood of different outcomes.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@chloehustle/visualizing-probability-distributions-4a3508ce10aa"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
