Employee commute time bell curve

This bell curve summarizes a hypothetical distribution of staff commute times at Northwind. Most observations are clustered near 40 minutes, while very short and very long commutes appear less often. The shape is useful for explaining the idea of a normal distribution, but it should not be treated as proof that every real commute dataset is normal. Plot the observed values or frequency bins first, then use a smooth bell curve only when the pattern is a reasonable approximation. The chart can support discussions of typical travel time, spread and outliers without exposing individual employee records. It gives teams a concrete starting point for reviewing assumptions, data quality and next steps together.
