Have you ever worked with a normed data set before?

Not really, but I've heard it's important for accurate results.

Root Explanation

Normed → It is formed from "norm" (from Latin "norma", meaning a standard or rule) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action or state). The word "normed" means having been made to conform to a standard or rule.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'standard' ('norm') that something has been made to follow or conform to, which is what 'normed' means.
