When one thinks of the normal distribution, the first thing that comes to mind is the bell curve and grades. While this is one example of a normal curve that is widely recognized, it is not the only one. Try to come up with a unique normal distribution that your classmates have not posted already. Explain your curve with items such as the mean and standard deviation, if available. What do the areas in the intervals µ - σ to µ + σ, µ - 2σ to µ + 2σ and µ - 3σ to µ + 3σ represent as far as areas under the normal curve? If you have the mean and standard deviation, calculate what the actual intervals are for your curve. Please include any citations regarding where you obtained your data for the curve.
