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.
Fire Loss. The loss, in millions of dollars, due to a fire in a commercial building is a variable with density curvefor andotherwise. Using the fact that the area of a triangle equals one-half its base times its height, we find that the area under this density curve to the left of any number between equals
a. Graph the density curve of this variable.
b. What percentage of losses exceed million?
Determine the two scores that divide the area under the standard normal curve into a middle area and two outside areas.
In the article "Material Culture as Memory: Combs and Cremations in Early Medieval Britain" (Early Medieval Europe, Vol. 12, Issue 2, pp. 89-128). H. Williams discussed the frequency of cremation burials found in 17 archaeological sites in eastern England. Here are the data.

a. Obtain a normal probability plot of the given data.
b. Use part to identify any outliers.
c. Use partto assess the normality of the variable under consideration.
Booted Eagles. The rare booted eagle of western Europe was the focus of a study by S. Suarez et al. to identify the optimal nesting habitat for this raptor. According to their paper "Nesting Habitat Selection by Booted Eagles (Hieraaefus pennatus) and Implications for Management" (Journal of Applied Ecology, Vol. 37. pp. 215-223). the distances of such nests to the nearest marshland are normally distributed with a mean and a standard deviation . Let be the distance of a randomly selected nest to the nearest marshland.
