The normal distribution is the most important, as it can describe many phenomena in the world around us. Yet, the normal distribution is often misused or misunderstood. Introduction to Statistics by Barbara Illowsky & Susan Dean puts it this way: "[The normal distribution] is widely used and even more widely abused." Reflect on your prior knowledge of the normal distribution, and reflect on how that understanding has changed, if at all, since studying the normal distribution in more detail. The normal distribution is seen in almost every field of study. Describe some specific ways that the normal distribution is used in an area of interest to you (business, economics, healthcare, education, etc.). This will likely require some outside research on your part. Make sure to cite any sources referenced for this discussion. Based on the area of interest chosen by a peer (business, economics, healthcare, education, etc.), reflect on some ways that the normal distribution may be misused within that area of interest. Again, this will likely require some outside research on your part. Make sure to cite any sources referenced for your responses
