Abstract: This is a very important concept within the methods for determining the type of distribution since we are talking about one of the most important and most common distributions, since many statistical analyses assume that the data come from normally distributed populations.Importance of the Normal Distribution J. Lejarza & I. Lejarza (2007) tell us that: "On the one hand, a large number of real phenomena can be modeled with this distribution (such is the case of the quantitative characteristics of almost all large populations).On the other hand, many of the frequently used distributions tend to approximate the normal distribution under certain conditions; and, finally, by virtue of the Central Limit Theorem, all those variables that can be considered to be caused by a large number of small effects (such as may be observation errors) tend to be distributed with a normal distribution."As we mentioned before, the Normal distribution is the most common distribution and therefore it is also the most important and the one we encounter most in everyday life.
