2. In the mid-19th century, Sir Francis Galton demonstrated, through extensive data collection, that
many human characteristics such as height and IQ are distributed throughout the entire population
in accordance with the normal distribution. Galton recorded the heights of 8585 men in Great
Britain. This forms a normal distribution with mean u = 67 inches and standard deviation o =
2.5inches.
