Imagine a team of researchers was going to study "you." They would be gathering data from a typical day at your job, your home life, and school. When the data compilation is finished the researchers would conduct an analysis. What would a distribution or a bell curve look like from your day? Give examples of how data from aspects of your day would be distributed. For example, a physician at a clinic may see 27 patients on an average day. A slower day she may see 24, and a busy day see 30. So there is a mean of 27 patients +/-3 patients.

Do you think your data would be representative of the rest of the population? In other words, could one generalize from your typical day that this is what a typical day looks like for the rest of the population of individuals such as yourself?
