Normally

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Normally is a term used in various fields such as mathematics, statistics, psychology, and sociology to describe a standard or common condition or state. It can refer to a range of concepts, from the average or typical condition, to a state of health, to a statistical distribution.

Mathematics and Statistics[edit | edit source]

In mathematics and statistics, "normally" often refers to a normal distribution, also known as a Gaussian distribution. This is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form of its probability density function is characterized by its mean and standard deviation. The term "normal" is used because this distribution is considered to be the most common and it is a natural way of describing random, independent observations.

Psychology and Sociology[edit | edit source]

In psychology and sociology, "normally" can refer to what is considered typical or standard behavior or social norms. Social norms are the accepted behaviors within a society or group. This can also refer to the concept of normality, which is a behavior that can be normal for an individual when it is consistent with the most common behavior for that person.

Health and Medicine[edit | edit source]

In health and medicine, "normally" can refer to a state of normal health, which is a state of being free from illness or injury. It can also refer to the normal range in medical tests, which is the range of values that the test results for a healthy person would show.
