Graph description: Figure 1. Histogram with Normal distribution curve for serum triglyceride measurements from cord blood in 282 babies

A histogram with a superimposed Normal curve.

The histogram of triglyceride shows positive skewness. The superimposed Normal distribution curve extends below the lowest triglyceride represented in the histogram and does not extend far enough at the high triglyceride end of the histogram. The mode of the Normal distribution is at a higher triglyceride than the mode of the histogram.
