The Cauchy distribution looks similar to the Normal distribution, but has a much heavier tail. It has some unusual properties. The mean is undefined, and the variance is infinite.

The Cauchy distribution is sometimes called the Lorentz distribution.

When shots are fired from a point in a random direction, the points of impact on a straight wall have a Cauchy distribution.
