Step 2 of 2 : Find the three-period moving average for the year 2007. If necessary, round your answer to one decimal place.

For this submission, you will be given a series of scenarios and small collections of data. You should plot the data or calculate probabilities using excel. Then, you will create your own real or hypothetical scenario to graph and explain.

Answer the following:

The mean temperature for the month of July in Boston, Massachusetts is 73 degrees Fahrenheit. Plot the following data, which represent the observed mean temperature in Boston over the last 20 years:

Is this a normal distribution? Explain your reasoning.

What is an outlier? Are there any outliers in this distribution? Explain your reasoning fully.

Using the above data, what is the probability that the mean will be over 76 in any given July?

Using the above data, what is the probability that the mean will be over 80 in any given July?
