The notion of normal distribution, being one of the most important distributions in probability theory, has been extended far beyond the standard framework of the univariate (that is one-dimensional) case (Case 1).
The metric unit of weight (or any other force such as that of a  stretched spring, or a bat striking a ball, or a locomotive pulling  a train) is called the newton.   Neâ¦wton is the unit of weight (exactly of force) in the SI; in base  units is kg.m/s2.
Written By: Ton, unit of weight in the avoirdupois system equal to 2,000 pounds (907.18 kg) in the United States (the short ton) and 2,240 pounds (1,016.05 kg) in Britain (the long ton). The metric ton used in most other countries is 1,000 kg, equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds avoirdupois.
