Runners’ heart rates The figure below is a Normal probability plot of the heart rates of male runners after six minutes of exercise on a treadmill.The distribution is close to Normal. How can you see this? Describe the nature of the small deviations from Normality that are visible in the plot.

Carbon dioxide emissions The figure below is a Normal probability plot of the emissions of carbon dioxide per person in countries.In what ways is this distribution non-Normal?

Mrs. Munson is concerned about how her daughter’s height and weight compared with those of other girls of the same age. She uses an online calculator to determine that her daughter is at the percentile for weight and the percentile for height. Explain to Mrs. Munson what this means.
Questions 3 and 4 relate to the following setting. The graph displays the cumulative relative frequency of the lengths of phone calls made from the mathematics department office at Gabaldon High last month.
SAT versus ACT Eleanor scores on the SAT Mathematics test. The distribution of SAT scores is
symmetric and single-peaked, with mean and standard deviation . Gerald takes the American College Testing (ACT) Mathematics test and scores 27. ACT scores also follow a symmetric, singlepeaked distribution—but with mean and standard deviation . Find the standardized scores for both students. Assuming that both tests measure the same kind of ability, who has the higher score?
