Show the distribution as a histogram on a log scale

Reference no: EM131319182

Pick a variable that is supposedly bell-shaped in probability distribution, gather data, and make a plot of the variable's empirical distribution. Show the distribution as a histogram on a log scale and investigate whether the tails are well-modelled by a Gaussian distribution. [One example of a variable to study is the amplitude of an audio signal.]
