Question

Select Yes or No to state whether each data set is likely to be normally distributed.

a. Yes: The age of people entering a superstore.
b. Yes: The heights of people entering a superstore.
c. No: The number of 8 oz glasses of milk in 1 gallon.
d. No: The gallons of milk sold at a superstore in one week.

Answer 1

The age and height of people entering a superstore are likely to be normally distributed, while the number of 8 oz glasses of milk and gallons of milk sold are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Yes: The age of people entering a superstore. This data set is likely to be normally distributed because ages tend to follow a bell-shaped curve.

b. Yes: The heights of people entering a superstore. This data set is likely to be normally distributed because heights of individuals also tend to follow a bell-shaped curve.

c. No: The number of 8 oz glasses of milk in 1 gallon. This data set is not likely to be normally distributed because it is discrete and limited to a specific range (0 to 16 glasses).

d. No: The gallons of milk sold at a superstore in one week. This data set is not likely to be normally distributed because sales can fluctuate and are not expected to follow a symmetric pattern.
