Etymology

The name reflects the pale yellow colour of the species.

gollark: I doubt in practice you would actually get a normal distribution, but sure.

gollark: I guess.

gollark: No. You still only have one mean, which is going to be somewhere between the peaks.

gollark: Not *necessarily*, a distribution can have multiple peaks.

gollark: Equivalently, if you take a random person you know nothing about, the probability that their height is between, say, μ-3σ and μ-2σ (154cm to 164cm) is lower than the probability of it being between μ-2σ and μ-σ (164cm to 173cm).
