Solution Summary

This response discusses the use of normal probability plots to determine the distribution of data.

Solution Preview

Consider a distribution of data values that is both symmetrical and mesokurtic (neither flat nor peaked). The frequency curve for such a distribution is called a normal curve.

For a set of values that is normally distributed, it is always true that 68.27% of the data values (or approximately 68 percent of the ...
