Bouted 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 (Hienieefus pennatus) and Implications for Management" (Jamal of Applied Ecolesy, VoL. 37. pp, 215-223). the distances of such nests to the nearest marshland are normally distributed with a mean of 4.66km and a standard deviation of 0.75km. Let Y be the distance of a randomly selected nest to the nearest marshland.

Each year, thousands of high school students bound for college take the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). This test measures the verbal and mathematical abilities of prospective college students. Student scores are reported on a scale that ranges from a low of to a high of . Summary results for the scores are published by the College Entrance Examination Board in College Bound Seniors. In one high school graduating class, the SAT scores are as provided on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to answer the following questions.
a. Do the SAT verbal scores for this class appear to be approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
b. Do the SAT math scores for this class appear to be approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.
