Large Data Set Summary Notes

Certain weather measurements, such as wind speed and precipitation, should not be measured using a normal distribution because they often exhibit skewness and are bounded by zero. For example, wind speed can have a lower limit of zero but no upper limit, leading to a right-skewed distribution. Additionally, precipitation data can be zero on many days, making it unsuitable for normal distribution analysis.
