A Deviation from the Average

booksYour challenge is to create three distinct datasets, each tailored to have a designated mean and standard deviation.

  1. Create a data set that has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 1.

  2. Create a data set that has a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 2.

  3. Create a data set that has a mean of -10 and a standard deviation of 3.


Explain the process you used to come up with the datasets given the specific statistical properties.
