Read the scenarios below.  For each data set, decide if you believe they would follow a normal distribution.  Explain your reasoning and why you made that decision.

1. The hand span (measured from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the extended 5^th finger) of a random sample of high school seniors.


2. The annual salaries of all employees of a large shipping company.


3. The annual salaries of a random sample of 50 CEOs of major companies, 25 women and 25 men.


4. The dates of 100 pennies taken from a cash drawer in a convenience store.

Then think of your own example of a data set that would follow a normal distribution and explain why.
