Bell curve for website traffic

 
 
Reply Sat 26 May, 2012 09:59 am
If a website gets 20,000 "visits" a day on the average and there are an average of 5 page requests per visit, what does the bell curve look like for the practical maximum number of page requests per second? What is the formula for this?

@imstarboard,
To generate a bell curve, you need to know the variation in the number of visits per day.

@imstarboard,
Sounds like a recipe for Poisson.

@imstarboard,
I don't think you can assume that the number of pages per visit follows a normal distribution.
