Is it appropriate to discuss the shape of the distribution for each variable? If it is not appropriate,
explain why not. If it is appropriate, give the shape

I feel it is appropriate to talk about the shape of the distribution because when you look at
the histogram you can see that it is bell shape. The Typical Histogram Shapes and What
They Mean. Normal. A common pattern is the bellshaped curve known as the normal
distribution. In a normal distribution, points are as likely to occur on one side of the
average as on the other.
