  1. Use Excel to generate 70 values from Normal distribution with mean 18 and standard deviation 5. Construct a histogram for them [Note: first generate 100 uniformly distributed random values from [0,1]; then use them as the first input for NORMINV( ) function, two other inputs are mean and standard deviation of given Normal distribution]
