You observe that the distribution of weights of individuals drawn from a random sample of the united states appears bimodal; there are peaks at 130 lbs. and 165 lbs. you were under the impression that weights follow a normal distribution. why do you think this distribution differs so much?

Because of the number of overweight and underweight people

Explanation:

The peaks appear because there are significant numbers of overweight and underweight people, compared with a relative small number of people with normal, average weight.

In today's society there are two extremes: the overweight and the underweight people, they make up the largest part of the population and this is why weight does not follow a normal distribution any longer, it concentrates in the peak measurements. To follow a normal distribution, the number of people with average weight would have to be predominant in a society, which is not a case today.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.
