Mean-0.040771
Std Dev0.931004
Min-2.619745
25%-0.705128

Graphical Representation

The distribution of the 200 random numbers is shown in the histogram above. It includes a Kernel Density Estimate (KDE) overlay, which provides a smooth curve representing the distribution.

Interpretation:

  1. Mean and Median: The mean is slightly negative at 0.040771-0.040771, and the median is nearly zero, indicating that the data is approximately centered around zero, as expected for a standard normal distribution.

  2. Standard Deviation: The standard deviation is close to 1 (0.9310040.931004), consistent with the standard normal distribution's properties.

  3. Range: The minimum value is 2.619745-2.619745 and the maximum is 2.7201692.720169, indicating that the data points are within a typical range for a standard normal distribution (about 3-3 to 33).

  4. Distribution Shape: The histogram shows that the data follows a bell-shaped curve, characteristic of a normal distribution. The KDE plot aligns well with the histogram, further confirming the normality of the data.

Related Questions:

  1. How would the distribution change if the random numbers were generated from a uniform distribution?
  2. What would the descriptive statistics look like for a skewed distribution?
  3. How can you test if this data follows a normal distribution?
  4. What is the significance of the 25th and 75th percentiles in this context?
  5. How would outliers affect the mean and standard deviation?

Tip: When analyzing data, always check the distribution shape along with summary statistics to get a complete understanding of the dataset.
