Imagine that you are a researcher who has collected data from 5,000 participants on a variable of interest that is likely to be normally distributed.
Describe the variable. Is the scale of measurement nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio? Why?
What does it mean to say that this variable is "normally distributed"?
In a normal distribution, such as in this example, you can define a probability value for every score. Define probability value in your own words. How is a probability value of .05 in this example related to the normal curve?
