distribution

[soji]

Is your distribution normal? Does it kind of make a bell-shaped curve?
-my numbers are 3,4,5,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,24,30,32,33,36,40,42,48,50,52,60,64,72,96,100,102,105,120,180
Mean is 46 and the standard deviation is 41

• Does it make sense that your data is / is not normally distributed? Why?

The normal distribution is symmetric about it's mean.
You'd like to be able to go 3 or so standard deviations to both the left and right of the mean within your data.
This would be a range of [46-123, 46+123] = [-77, 169]
This clearly doesn't correspond to your data set that starts at 3.
