Courbe qui illustre, en sciences, la plupart des distributions «normales» de données ou de résultats. La courbe normale d'intelligence témoigne de la distribution des résultats d'un grand nombre d'individus à un test d'intelligence. Dans une telle courbe, on remarque que la plus grande partie des sujets se regroupent autour de la moyenne, alors que leur nombre va en diminuant au fur et à mesure qu'on s'éloigne, dans un sens ou dans l'autre, du milieu de la courbe, d'où la forme caractéristique de celle-ci et le nom qui lui est donné. 1, record 2, French, - courbe%20en%20cloche
