Hello everyone. I have a set of samples (for example I have values of the height of a set of people).
x = [1.50 1.55 1.58 1.66 1.70 1.70 1.71 1.72 1.72 1.73 1.73 1.74 1.79 1.80 1.85];
How can I calculate the probability distribution of this set? so to associate each sample of x with a certain probability?
Then, once a probability is associated with each value of x, how can I choose a random value of x taking into account the various probabilities?

As I said the last time you asked virtually the identical question, there is NO correct "THE DISTRIBUTION" for any set of data. You cannot know the true distribution. You might guess that is a sampling from some distribution, perhaps normal, perhaps not.
