Textbook Question

Chapter 6.C, Problem 51E

Normal Distributions. Many data sets described in the news have nearly normal distributions, though the article may not so explicitly. In news reports, find two data sets that you suspect have nearly normal distributions. Explain your reasoning.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
