31. Mortgage Industry Employees. In an issue of National Mortgage News, a special report was published on publicly traded mortgage industry companies. A sample of mortgage industry companies had the following numbers of employees.

a. Obtain a normal probability plot of the data.
b. Use part (a) to identify any outliers.
c. Use part (a) to assess the normality of the variable under consideration.
We have provided a normal probability plot of data from a sample of a population. In each case, assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

State the empirical rule for variables.
28. Verbal GRE Scores. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that students usually take before entering graduate school. According to the document GRE Guide to the Use of Scores, a publication of the Educational Testing Service, the scores on the verbal portion of the GRE have mean points and standard deviation points. Assuming that these scores are (approximately) normally distributed,
