Applying the Normal Distribution

CSEF · 2003 Mathematics & Software

Overview

Objectives/Goals The project was done to discover if the normal curve applies to sets of large data. The project of this data was professional basketball player heights and weights, divided into three different teams. After finishing the project and analyzing all of the data, the large sets of data did show that all of the sets formed a normal curve, of which five of the six groups were concluded to be the same as predicted. NOTE TO READER: Most of the data will be changed due to improvements suggested by professionals. PLease take into concideration, because the point of the project is the same, only instead of basketball player's heights and weights, other large sets of data will they be replaced by to result in more accurate results.

Summary statement

The project will apply the normal distribution to large sets of data for the better analyzing.
