Analysis of Distribution If the sample is truly random and there is no bias in the sampling then the expected distribution would be a smooth bell-shaped curve. However, factors can enter the sampling to affect the shape of the distribution curve. PopulationSample Random Sample Sample size > 30 for each sub-group Each sub-group has Equal numbers of individuals

Normal Distribution Curve

Task In this topic you will be trying to compare the sample distributions of two subgroups taken randomly form a population to determine whether there is enough evidence to answer you question and whether the sample trends will occur in the population also! PopulationSample Random Sample Sample size > 30 for each sub-group Each sub-group has Equal numbers of individuals

Outliers An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample from a population. In a sense, this definition leaves it up to the analyst (or a consensus process) to decide what will be considered abnormal. Before abnormal observations can be singled out, it is necessary to characterize normal observations.
