Bell curves are used because they represent an exactly normal distribution. A normal distribution means that all of the values are centered around a single mean value, with the probability density decreasing equally on either side of the mean. This is the distribution that is most widely used in statistics because it is often found naturally (truly random data follows a normal distribution), and also because it follows from the central limit theorem.
