Determining Normality - Download the data set “Body Data” in your preferred technology format (StatCrunch, Statdisk, Excel). Select 3 columns of your choice from the list below. For each of the 3 columns you selected, determine whether the data is normally distributed in two ways: 1. Create a Histogram of the data and determine if it is approximately bell-shaped, and 2. Create a Normal Quantile Plot and determine if the pattern of points is reasonably close to a straight line. After examining these two graphs together, decide whether the data is normally distributed and explain your findings. Paste your graphs using the Insert/Edit Image button (no attachments!)
