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.
Report Abuse. In the metric system weight is properly measured in Newtons, but most people improperly use Kilograms, which is really a measure of mass, not weight. On Earth one kilogram weighs 9.8 Newtons. In the English system, weight is measured in pounds.The English unit of mass is a slug, but most people who have not studied physics have never heard of a slug. On Earth one slug weight 32 pounds.ewtons is the standard SI unit of measure though. Edit: when i say acceleration, i mean acceleration due to gravity. Weight *is* a unit of force. hoarp001: Weight is a unit of force, all the units you put there are units of mass, not weight.
