Sure. A Gaussian (also called normal) distribution is a symmetrical,
bell-shaped distribution. Population refers to all elements, while
sample refers to some. As in polling a sample of voters to make
conclusions about the entire population. As I wrote, 95% of the
values in a normal distribution are within 1.96 SDs of the
*population* mean. Calculating with a sample instead is a whole
other ball game and depends on sample size.

Gaussian population in simple terms. Is it essentially the bell curve
