1.Compare your histogram against the description normal distribution. Do your data values seem to be normally distributed do they fit a bell shaped curve if not or your histograms bio modal or skewed? Explain.

2.The mean median and mode or three different statistics that describe the typical individual in the population. On the basis of your daughter doesn't matter very much which of these statistics are use?

3. Compare the numbers that you got for the mean, median , mode , range , variance , and standard deviation for the entire group of tomatoes measured by the class . For each statistic , there a large difference between these numbers ? Why is it important to have a large sample size (e.g., large number of tomatoes instead of only two or three tomatoes ) when you are sampling a population ?

4.We noted the variation within the tomato fruits in the population. ( They are not all the same size and we were not expecting them to all be identical in size and shape.) Give an explanation for the existence of such variation .
