Q2. Find a graphic of bivariate data (any type) from the newspaper, Internet or other media source. Use R to generate a similar figure (please cite your source, be clear on your R code and the functions you are using)

Q3. The normal plot is a fancy way of checking if the distribution looks normal. A more primitive one is to check the rule of thumb that 68% of the data is 1 standard deviation from the mean, 95% within 2 standard deviations and 99.8% within 3 standard deviations.

Create 100 random numbers when the Xi are normal with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. What percent are within one standard deviation of the mean? Two standard deviations, three standard deviations? Is your data consistent with the normal? ((Hint: The data is supposed to have mean 0 and variance 1) (please use R commands and functions to respond)
