All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeExplain the relationship between percentages for a normally distributed variable and areas under the corresponding normal curve.
What is a density curve, and why are such curves important?
18. Roughly speaking, what are the normal scores corresponding to a sample of observations?
In 1902, W. R. Macdonell published the article "On Criminal Anthropometry and the Identification of Criminals" (Biometrika, Vol. 1. Pp. 177-227). Among other things. the author presented data on the left middle finger length, in centimeters. The following table provides the midpoints and frequencies of the finger-length classes used.
Use these data and the technology of your choice to assess the normality of middle finger length of criminals by using
a. a histogram.
b. a normal probability plot.
In the paper "Cloudiness: Note on a Novel Case of Frequency" (Procedings of the Royul Sociery of London, Vol. . pp.), K. Pearson examined data on daily degree of cloudiness, on a scale of 0 to 10 , at Breslau (Wroclaw), Poland, during the decade . A frequency distribution of the data is presented in the following table.
a. Draw a frequency histogram of these degree-of-cloudiness data.
b. Based on your histogram, do you think that degree of cloudiness in Breslau during the decade in question is approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
