Statistical Computing Activity #3

Breakout room activities:

• Create an R script or markdown file to simulate 100 observations from a normal distribution with different means and standard deviations. After simulating the random observations, construct a normal quantile plot to assess normality. Can you estimate the mean and standard deviation of a normal distribution from the normal quantile plot? If so, explain how. If not, explain why not.
• Tip: It is helpful to simulate many different sets of 100 observations and look for patterns.
