The Gauss distribution
emerges in many situations in a natural way. On the other hand, it is
usually presented in terms of a formal apparatus which tends to hide its
simple origin. In this applet, the "central limit theorem" (which essentially states the
naturality of the Gauss distrubution) is illustrated in terms of a
random process which may easily be understood.
As a by-product, the fluctuations appearing may be understood in terms of
the "square root of N" estimates well-known in statistics.
The applet is started from the red button in its own window.
