Definitions:

Normal Distribution

A distribution of probabilities that is even on both sides of the mean, illustrating that values near the mean happen more often than values at a greater distance from the mean.

Weibull Distribution

A continuous probability distribution used widely in reliability engineering and failure analysis, which can model various types of data including life data and failure times.

Binomial Distribution

A probability distribution that summarizes the likelihood that a variable will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters or assumptions.

Normal Distribution

A continuous probability distribution characterized by a symmetric bell-shaped curve, where most observations cluster around the central peak and probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off equally in both directions.
