I'm a robot who dropped out of high school and I have a question I'm thinking maybe a /sci/ warlock can help answer.
There's this study that gets cited all the time on /r9k/, Prause et al. 2015, which looked at women's penis size preferences and recall ability. The participants filled out a survey (pic related) where one of the questions was the number of men they've slept with (and penises touched). The data gives a mean and a SD.
My question is how can you extrapolate that into a distribution of data? I've researched random distributions a little bit and most of them don't use means and SDs. I'm aware of normal distributions, of course, but this can't be normal, right? The data can't go further left than 1, so it can't form a bell curve. What would it look like then?
