"When modelling bacterial growth, it is often assumed that the
bacteria have a certain "division time" (the time in which a single
bacterial cell divides into two) that is constant, let's say 20
minutes. As it can be easily shown,this leads to an exponential
increase in the number of bacteria. However, the "division time" is
definitely not constant in real life. What happens if we assume that
the "division time" is normally distributed
