Question

Week 7 Discussion

The Normal Distribution, also called the Gaussian Distribution, is a representation of the distribution of many different types of data, especially when considering large amounts of data. Some examples of data that are normally distributed are IQ scores, heights, blood pressure measurements and GPAs. The empirical rule, along with the Normal Distribution provides information about the data that is easy to calculate. Follow this link to understand the empirical rule:

For Discussion #2, find an example of data that is normally distributed and cite your source.  Do not use IQ scores as an example. Then write a Discussion post with the following information:

·       provide a brief description of the data

·       state the mean

·       state the standard deviation

·       identify the data values that represent the middle 68% of the normal curve

·       identify the data values that represent the middle 95% of the normal curve

·       identify the data values that represent the middle 99.7% of the normal curve

Remember to include all of the information in the bullet points above and to cite your source. Please use full sentences, proper grammar and check your spelling.
