leptokurtotic

Example:The distribution of test scores in a typical classroom was mesokurtic, reflecting a normal spread of results around the mean.

Definition:A term used to describe a probability distribution that has kurtosis similar to that of a normal distribution, indicating that it neither has fatter tails nor a sharper peak compared to a normal distribution.

Example:The platykurtotic distribution suggested that the population was more spread out than what would be expected from a normal distribution.

Definition:A term used to describe a probability distribution that has a lower kurtosis than a normal distribution, indicating that it has thinner tails and a broader peak.
