DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. The normal distribution is seen in some way in almost every field of study. Describe some specific ways that the normal distribution is used in an area of interest to you (business, economics, healthcare, education, etc). This will likely require some outside research on your part. Make sure to cite any sources referenced for this discussion.
2. Based on the area of interest chosen by a peer (business, economics, healthcare, education, etc), reflect on some ways that the normal distribution may be misused in some way within that area of interest. Again, this will likely require some outside research on your part. Make sure to cite any sources referenced for your responses.
3. Include at least a reference (do not cite Wikipedia, blogs or vlogs)
