It has a symmetric shape, meaning it has roughly equal probabilities for all values of the variable. The term "leptokurtic" comes from the Greek word "lepton," which refers to a large, dense particle or object. In the context of probability distributions, leptokurtic distributions are often used in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics to describe systems where
