istribution. Be sure to describe what the labels would be for the horizontal and vertical axis of the display. Then explain why you would expect a normal distribution. What range of data values would you expect to represent 1 standard deviation from the mean? (15 points; 10 for your answer, 5 for response to others' comments.)

Answer:

1.The heights of students in a class, for example, would have a normal distribution. We expect a few students to be extremely tall and a few to be extremely short, but the majority will be in the middle. On the x-axis, we'll have heights, and on the y-axis, we'll have the frequency of the number of students with heights. According to the empirical rule, 68 percent of the data could fall within one standard deviation of the mean.
