Chapter 4 - The Normal Distribution - Exercises 4.4.1 - 4.4.8 - Page 142: 4.4.2

Answer

(a) I (b) III (c) II

Work Step by Step

Given the following three normal quantile plots in the book that were generated from the distributions shown by histograms I, II, and III. Which normal quantile plot goes with which histogram? how do you know? (a) Graph A goes with Plot one because it has a right tail skew thus more y values are going to be smaller than larger. (b) Graph B goes with Plot three because it has a left tail skew thus more y values are going to be larger than smaller. (c) Graph C goes with Plot two because it is normally distributed thus making the graph linear.
