Normal Distribution

A probability distribution characterized by its symmetry surrounding the mean, demonstrating that data points close to the mean occur more frequently than those at a greater distance.

Degrees Of Freedom

Degrees Of Freedom represent the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary, often determining the shape of various sampling distributions.

Interaction Term

In statistical models, it represents the combined effect of two or more variables on a dependent variable, which is different from the effect of any one variable alone.
