Drop your Notebooks from last time into the folder !Discrete Probability Distributions on Google Drive

Continuous Random Variables

• Normal Distribution - pnorm, qnorm, and rnorm in R
• Examples and assessing normality - See NormalQuantilePlots.Rmd

R Lab

• Create an R notebook to simulate 100 random variables 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.
