The heights of adult females are normally distributed. If you were to construct a histogram of 40 randomly selected women, what shape would the histogram of those heights have and what pattern would you expect in a normal quantile plot of these data?
A) The histogram would be approximately bell-shaped, and the normal quantile plot would have data points have follow a straight-line pattern.
B) The histogram would by approximately bell-shaped, and the normal quantile plot would have data points that would be bell-shaped.
C) The histogram would by non-symmetric, and the normal quantile plot would have data points that would be non-linear.
D) The histogram would by approximately bell-shaped, and the normal quantile plot would have data points that would be non-linear.

Since the heights of adult females are normally distributed, a histogram of a sample of these heights would be approximately bell-shaped. A normal quantile plot for normally distributed data would show data points following a straight-line pattern, indicating that the sample distribution matches the expected normal distribution.
