Question

As a game, slide a matchbook (or similarly shaped object) across a table, trying to make it stop at some predefined point on each attempt. Measure the distance from the starting point to the stopping point. Repeat this 10 times, 20 times, up through 50 times. Would you expect the frequency distribution of distance to look like a normal distribution? What statistical outcomes would distinguish a better player?

Answer 1

Solution:-

Given

10 times, 20 times, up through 50 times

Dist Given table = 0.5 m

Dist	No
0.32	7
0.4	15
0.45	20
0.47	3
0.48	5

No, it is a gaussian distribution.

A better player would have the bulge more towards right
