Write a 800-1200 word (~ 3 pages) report on Normality testing in Statistics
In your report:
Describe 5 different types of data distributions. You may include jpegs or bitmaps. Provide 2 examples of a variable that is representative for each distribution. You may not use the standard normal. t-distribution, F-distribution, Chi-Square distribution, Binomial distribution, or uniform distribution.
Briefly summarize three different types/approaches to testing data for normality.
In many cases, homework problems state, "assume the data is normally distributed". Why is testing for normality important?
If the data is not normally distributed, what other methods or approaches can you use?
