Microsoft Edge Inc [US] Search or enter web address Week2.pdf Discussion Question 3: Normal and non-Normal data The Normal distribution is a very important density chrve. It is symmetric around a single peak. Table A on pages 698 and 699 of the text gives us the areas under regions of the Normal distribution curve. Many data sets drawn from nature follow the Normal curve and as we go through the course we will see the Normal ACTIVITIES AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR WEEK 2 curve show up in another important application. Not all data sets follow this distribution, though. Let's tryExplanation / Answer
Per my understanding you are interested in an explanation to part 3
The heights of trees follows normal distribution. This is because we know that there is a limit to what the maxmimum height of a tree can be and also to the minimum height (can be close to 0)
Most of the trees will have some similar height and this forms our top of the bell curve for a normal distribution with the tails as minimum and maximum heights respectively as the left and the right tail
thus, the shape of the curve will be an inverted U with the mean height of the trees in the middle and the min at the left and the max on the right
