Although some continuous variables follow a normal, or bell-shaped, distribution, many do not. Non-normal distributions may lack symmetry, may have extreme values, or may have a flatter or steeper "dome" than a typical bell. There is nothing inherently wrong with non-normal data; some traits simply do not follow a bell curve.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - non%2Dnormal%20distribution

Lorsque des données statistiques donnent lieu à un histogramme en forme de cloche, symétrique par rapport à la moyenne, nous parlons de distribution normale. Si le graphique s'écarte de ce modèle (s'il n'y pas de symétrie par exemple), alors nous dirons qu'il s'agit d'une distribution non normale (ce qui ne veut pas dire «anormale» dans le sens commun du terme)!  2, fiche 1, Français, - distribution%20non%20normale

How is the "bell curve" used with respect to conference housing? The bell curve uses percentages to predict the number of rooms per night that should make up the block. The peak nights are considered to have 100% booking, with the shoulder nights considered at different percentages.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - peak%20night

[...] a diferencia de una convención, los congresos son realmente grupos de individuos. Cada congresista decide cuándo llega y cuándo sale, qué come, en qué viaja y cuánto quiere gastar. Cuando el PCO [organizador profesional de conferencias] hace un bloqueo de habitaciones juega a la adivinanza porque no todos llegan y salen el mismo día, siempre hay una o dos noches pico y esas son las que marcan el comportamiento del grupo en determinado hotel.  2, fiche 2, Espagnol, - noche%20pico
