"In my book I call this the empathy bell curve. And part of what I'm exploring in the book is what determines where an individual scores on this empathy bell curve.

I should be able to do nice bell-shaped curves, but it's harder than it looks standing up here; so that's your bell-shaped curve.

我还是挺擅长画钟型曲线的,但站着画真的不太容易,这就是钟型曲线

This is the most famous bell-shaped curve, but there are other ones with different mathematics.

正态分布是最著名的钟形曲线,但仍有其他表达式下的钟形曲线

But it turns out that if you make the voters distributed more realistically, let's say like on a bell-curve shape, it makes actually no difference to the result at all.

但事实上,就算我们让选民分布更符合实际情况,比如说是按钟形分布的,但这实际上对结果没有什么影响

It's a bell-shaped curve that looks about like that.

大概就是一条这样的钟形曲线

So the normal--the bell-shaped curve in that case for the x/n is going to look something like this.

那么x/n的钟形曲线,大概就会是这个样子

That's a bell-shaped curve, but it's centered exactly on .2.

这是条钟形曲线,它关于x=0.2对称

Then, if n = 100--now I'm going to label this x differently, I'm now going to show the normal bell-shaped curve and I'm going to do this from 0 to .4.

如果n=100,现在我得重新标x值,我现在要画正态分布的钟形曲线了,在这儿用0到0.4
