MHB Expression for normal distribution

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving an expression for the normal distribution based on the provided measured values: 4,393; 4,372; 4,381; 4,373; and 4,401. Participants are encouraged to share their approaches to calculating the mean and standard deviation from these data points. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the normal distribution's characteristics in relation to the given values. There is a call for assistance in solving the problem, indicating a collaborative effort to reach a solution. Overall, the thread aims to clarify the process of expressing a normal distribution for specific data.

Thread 'Two interesting number theory tricks'

First trick I learned this one a long time ago and have used it to entertain and amuse young kids. Ask your friend to write down a three-digit number without showing it to you. Then ask him or her to rearrange the digits to form a new three-digit number. After that, write whichever is the larger number above the other number, and then subtract the smaller from the larger, making sure that you don't see any of the numbers. Then ask the young "victim" to tell you any two of the digits of the...
