1) Find a study where the distribution follows a normal or bell-shaped curve. An example of a normal distribution or bell-shaped curve, called âHeights of Red Pine Seedlingsâ, is located in the beginning of Chapter 6 in the book. Cite the source of the study youâve selected, and explain why you think the distribution is bell shaped.
