Students in an introductory statistics course at the U.S. Air Force Academy participated in Nabisco's "Chips Ahoy! Chips Challenge" by confirming that there were at least 1000 chips in every-ounce bag of cookies that they examined. As part of their assignment, they concluded that the number of chips per bag is approximately normally distributed. Could the number of chips per bag be exactly normally distributed? Explain your answer. [SOURCE: B. Warner and J. Rutledge, "Checking the Chips Ahoy! Guarantee," Chance, Vol. 12(1). pp. 10-14]

Elephant Pregnancies. G. Wintemeyer et al. studied demographic data on African elephants living in Kenya in the article "Comparative Demography of an At-risk African Elephant Population (PLOS ONE, Vol. 8. No. 1). Based on this study, we will assume that the time between pregnancies of the African elephant in Kenya, for elephants that have more than one calf, is normally distributed with mean of 4.01 years and a standard deviation of 0.94 years. Determine the percentage of such times that are
a. less than 2 years.
b. between 3 and 5 years.
The National Center for Health Statistics publishes information about birth rates (per population) in the document National Vital Statistics Report. The following table provides a frequency distribution for birth rates during one year for the states and the District of Columbia

b. Based on your histogram, do you think that birth rates for the states and the District of Columbia are approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
