Normal Probability Distributions

The normal distribution is the mathematical consequence of adding up a large number of random events. Some examples of normal distributions in the natural world (e.g., mass of ants) and social world (age of marathon runners) and explained in terms of these phenomena resulting from the aggregation of random events.

Excluding the examples above, find other natural or social phenomena that are examples of normal distributions.
How do you know these are examples of a normal distribution (i.e., give a reference)
Explain how these phenomena are the result of an aggregation of random events

Your statements should be:

Substantive and clearly articulated
Professionally written
Demonstrate knowledge of the content
Contribute to the discussion (possibly with a question) to further increase and deepen the understanding of the topics being discussed

Again, articulate your discussion statement(s) clearly and support your statements with well-reasoned arguments. You may use supporting articles, textbook references, and even personal experience (as long as it relevant and empirical in nature).
