Question

What is an example of data that clearly would not fall under a normal curve. 

Answer 1

Examples of data sets that are not normally distributed are income and home prices.  That is why they usually talk about the median values rather then the mean because the distributions are highly skewed.  Median is the measure of central tendency for highly skewed (non-normal) data sets.  If you want to try to normalize one of those two types of data sets, you would normally try to transform them using the natural log.

Answer 2

What type of answer is the question looking for? ie a Graph? Data set? Etc?

Graph: Draw a scatterplot that clearly doesn't look normal

Data Set: Weights of Dogs {10,10,10, 50,50, 50}
