Normal Random Variable

Famous quotes containing the words normal, random and/or variable:

“To try to control a nine-month-old’s clinginess by forcing him away is a mistake, because it counteracts a normal part of the child’s development. To think that the child is clinging to you because he is spoiled is nonsense. Clinginess is not a discipline issue, at least not in the sense of correcting a wrongdoing.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)

“And catch the gleaming of a random light,
That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.”
—Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

“There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
