Runners’ heart rates The figure below is a Normal probability plot of the heart rates of 200male runners after six minutes of exercise on a treadmill.14The distribution is close to Normal. How can you see this? Describe the nature of the small deviations from Normality that are visible in the plot.

Growth charts We used an online growth chart to find percentiles for the height and weight of a 16-year-old girl who is 66 inches tall and weighs 118 pounds. According to the chart, this girl is at the 48th percentile for weight and the 78th percentile for height. Explain what these values mean in plain English.
