Analyze the Distribution Using your sample mean, sample standard deviation, and histogram, what was the approximate theoretical distribution of the data you collected?
Describe the Data Using the data you collected complete the following statements. (Hint: order the data)
(IQR = Q3 – Q1)
Theoretical Distribution Using the theoretical distribution, complete the following statements. Use a normal approximation based on the sample mean and standard deviation.
Discussion QuestionsDo the data you collected give a close approximation to the theoretical distribution? In complete sentences and comparing the results in the sections titled Describe the Data and Theoretical Distribution, explain why or why not.
