The normal distribution is sometimes informally called the bell curve. However, many other distributions are bell-shaped (such as the Cauchy, Student's t, and logistic distributions).
One metric ton (also known as a 'Tonne') contains 1000 kg, or 2204 pounds. There are two other types of ton: One Imperial ton (or British ton) equals 2240 pounds, or 1016.3 kg. One short ton contains 2000 pounds, or 907.4 kilogrammes.
  Short ton, in North America is 2,000 pounds â¦ or 907.18474 kg.   Metric ton, often spelled 'tonne', is 1,000 kg or approximately 2,204.6 pounds. A tonne and a metric tonne are the same thing. A tonne is a unit of mass.1 tonne = 1000 Kg. There is 1.10 short tons in one Metric ton. A Metric tonne is 1000 kilos which equals 2200 pounds. That's the same as one long ton.ome books use the convention that a ton is 2,000 pounds (US) and a 'tonne' or 'metric ton' is 1000 kg â¦ or 2204 pounds. The question 'how many tons are in a metric ton' is ambiguous. The answer could be 1.1 (if we assume the first unit is a US ton) or 1 exactly if we assume the first unit is a metric ton.
