b. Does the graphical display in Part (a) reveal any striking differences in w ireless percent for the three geographical regions or are the distributions of wireless percent observations similar for the three regions?

Definition Definition Probability of occurrence of a continuous random variable within a specified range. When the value of a random variable, Y, is evaluated at a point Y=y, then the probability distribution function gives the probability that Y will take a value less than or equal to y. The probability distribution function formula for random Variable Y following the normal distribution is: F(y) = P (Y ≤ y) The value of probability distribution function for random variable lies between 0 and 1.
