Algebra II Journal: Reflection 3

In this lesson, you explored normal distributions and compared them to skewed distributions. You discovered population percentages under the normal curve.

Respond to the following reflection questions in your Algebra II Journal opens in new window and submit to your teacher.

In the presidential data for “Number of Years Served,” the distribution of the data turned out to be skewed to the right. What would happen to the distribution if Theodore Roosevelt was removed from the data? Use what you have learned about mean, standard deviation, normal distributions and the 68-95-99.7 Rule to justify your answer.

In the next lesson you will continue your work with normal curves and population percentages.
