EXAMPLE 1.42 Fuel Efficiency Data

Figure 1.32 gives the histogram of the miles per gallon distribution with a density estimate produced by software. Compare this figure with Figure 1.17 (page 39). The two curves are very similar indicating that the Normal distribution gives a reasonably good fit for these data.
