I have never left a comment on UA-cam in my entire life. I just spent time and money to scrub an existing bell curve from images that I found via Google, and it still did not look right. I have no idea why this is not a shape in PowerPoint. I should have tried this first! This was perfect! Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know how to make this shape into a ribbon/title shape with an outline? I made the shape thicker, turned it white at 50% transparency but now I want the outline outlined. I instead gave it a shadow so that it stands out on my graph but would love to outline this thick shape (if that makes sense).
Hi Sheri. I’d love to help but I’m really not sure what you are trying to do here. :) “Ribbon/title”, do you want a series of bell curves in a series? “Outline the outline”, do you want to use the bell curve shape as a stamp?
Dude... that was awesome. I've been spending hours trying to find an icon download for word. I'd much rather due it myself to avoid copyright issues. Thanks
If you are still interested in this, I'm happy to make a video answering your question. I'm sorry I have been quite busy with work of late and unable to spend time making videos for UA-cam.
Easy! Draw a cube. Double it. Double it again. Get the line tool and connect. Delete the cubes and then you can stretch your curve to “scale” it up or down.
What a far-fetched way of drawing something as simple and ubiquitous as a bell curve. Why does PPT not have a direct function for this? Thanks anyway for showing!
The result is more of a Student's t-distribution instead of a normal distribution. Depending on individual needs, that curve might be sufficient on our slides, as is just an approximation of a normal distribution.
It’s an illustration. If you want the real thing break out stata. In terms of a stylised tool for teaching this gets the job done. And you are a fool if you use PowerPoint to conduct analysis because it ain’t the right tool.
vikas saxena nope. It is an approximation for illustration purposes. If you wanted to generate something closer to the real thing, you would have to use a mathematical vector drawing or an excel graph to generate aa approximation - as in, they are all approximations for illustration. "Perfect" isn't something you try and draw in PowerPoint. :)

Marvelously clear, easy to follow, fun to implement!
After so many frustrating trial and errors, I stumbled upon this.... Thanks for your video. Huge help for me.
Thank you - just saved me ages and now a perfect result
That's amazingly simple. Thanks for sharing bro !
Thanks for making geometry fun again for me 🌸👏👏👏 also a great refresher using the shift & ctrl buttons which I have totally forgotten about 🤗
THANK YOU PHILLIP! You saved me from hours of feeling dumb while trying to work this out for myself.
This is awesomely useful! Thanks for saving my time trying to draw it without any idea of how to do it
Cheers Phillip, very helpful and quick.
Thanks, this was a life and time saver, appreciate you taking the time to do this ;)
This was soooo easy to follow ! Thank you!
Outstanding presentation!
Thank you for this contribution. Found it really helpful.
Excellent. Thanks Philip
This is really excellent, thank you!
Great tutorial. Really helped me!
Intelligent. It works! Thanks for sharing.
I love it. Thanks

Thank you, I have a presentation to do and it was due yesterday.
Great video. Thank you very very much. It is a Life Saver.
Brilliant!
Awesome!
Thank you, Much appreciated
WOWZA!! Thank you so much.
Thanks. It's perfect!
Perfect Idea
brilliant mate, thx
Super fun and nice reminder to just use geometry to solve my problem!
That is really smart. Thanks mate!
Easy! :)
Very simple and clever trick! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
King!!!!!!
Thanks .. Good One
brilliant
Very nice..................
2024 and I still use this. Thanks!
And it still works!
Great!!!!
Thank you.
thanks!!
Fantastic
You are most welcome.
Nice

“Ribbon/title”, do you want a series of bell curves in a series?
“Outline the outline”, do you want to use the bell curve shape as a stamp?
You crazy. Thnx
Is there an easy way to add in lines for my stats? For my mean ect...
Thank u sir
Gracias por su enseñanza, que buen método con ppp
Dude... that was awesome. I've been spending hours trying to find an icon download for word. I'd much rather due it myself to avoid copyright issues. Thanks
Thnx
can u suggest me how to draw exponential curve
How to shade the 5% at the right tail?
If you are still interested in this, I'm happy to make a video answering your question. I'm sorry I have been quite busy with work of late and unable to spend time making videos for UA-cam.
how would you do an exponential growth curve
Easy! Draw a cube. Double it. Double it again. Get the line tool and connect.
Delete the cubes and then you can stretch your curve to “scale” it up or down.
What a far-fetched way of drawing something as simple and ubiquitous as a bell curve. Why does PPT not have a direct function for this? Thanks anyway for showing!
Agree! Ahhhhh. If only the “simple” bell curve was so simple. Elegant yes, but the math behind it can be a pain. :)
The result is more of a Student's t-distribution instead of a normal distribution. Depending on individual needs, that curve might be sufficient on our slides, as is just an approximation of a normal distribution.
It’s an illustration. If you want the real thing break out stata. In terms of a stylised tool for teaching this gets the job done.
And you are a fool if you use PowerPoint to conduct analysis because it ain’t the right tool.
That is NOT a normal curve. It might approximate for many needs, but it's not the real thing.
It’s an illustration. Sure. But no it’s not a plot.
How to draw a M-curve
What the heck is an M curve?
If you are plotting to real data you need to use excel or stata
@@Tetracarbon Is fine I already drew. Lazy to calculate the data LOL
I'm sorry to say this is not a perfect Normal Curve.
vikas saxena nope. It is an approximation for illustration purposes. If you wanted to generate something closer to the real thing, you would have to use a mathematical vector drawing or an excel graph to generate aa approximation - as in, they are all approximations for illustration.

Correct!
