What is considered normal? Everyone today yearns to be considered normal‚ but what exactly are they striving for? Found in the dictionary‚ the definition of normal is: an adjective; usual; conforming to the usual standard‚ type‚ or custom. But‚ how can anything be considered normal if no two people are exactly the same? Norms form a society. They are the standards by which people live by. Growing up in Rhode Island‚ my experience has been with the American contemporary society. Our society

S1 Jan 2001 1) The students in a class were each asked to write down how many CDs they owned. The student with the least number of CDs had 14 and all but one of the others owned 60 or fewer. The remaining student owned 65. The quartiles for the class were 30‚ 34 and 42 respectively. Outliers are defined to be any values outside the limits of 1.5(Q3 – Q1) below the lower quartile or above the upper quartile. On graph paper draw a box plot to represent these data‚ indicating clearly any outliers
