two variables that are normally distributed - one in which you personally score near the average of the distribution compared to the rest of the population, and a second in which you personally score significantly above or below the average compared to the population. For the second example, discuss what factors you believe influence why your score tends to deviate from the norm. To help get you started, here are some examples from my own life (but be sure to use different ones, since there are endless examples that could be analyzed). Research suggests that the average commute time in the US (which is a normally distributed variable) is about 27 minutes. Personally, my commute from home to Pierce is quite close to that number, somewhere around 25-29 minutes each way, making my score relatively average. On the other hand, research suggests that the average time spent in the shower (which is also a normally distributed variable) is 8 minutes. Personally, I spend about 3 or 4 minutes in the shower. I like to get in and out as soon as possible to save water and also spend that time doing other things. Thus, in this one area, my score is significantly below the mean
