I continued to help Taylor develop the data on numbers of births by month that she collected yesterday. We discussed possible means of displays of the data which included both the months and the days of student and teacher births. We decided that the best choice was to display the number of births in each month on the horizontal axis and the names of each month on the vertical scale.
I then introduced Taylor to density curves and the normal curve in particular. I showed her how the standard deviation and the mean define the shape of the Normal curve. We looked at IQ and height distributions.
Taylor had to leave early for a doctor's appointment. There was no assignment.
