The New Normal — teacher versionLesson plan
Students will explore distributions of various census data sets to determine whether it can be reasonably assumed that those data follow a normal distribution, based on students’ analysis of either a histogram or a normal probability plot for each data set. They will then discuss their findings with a partner who analyzed the other type of graph for each data set. Suggested Topics: Histograms Normal models Normal probability plots.
