MATH 533 Week 3 Discussion; Determining a Normal Distribution (Keller)
Week 3: Determining a Normal Distribution When trying to determine probabilities, one must first assess whether the variable would have a normal distribution. Using the tools from this course, what are some methods that could be used to determine whether a variable has a normal distribution?

A population has a precisely normal distribution if the mean, mode, and median are all equal. For the population of 3,4,5,5,5,6,7, the mean, mode, and median are all 5. Then, histogram, normal probability plot and boxplot methods could be used to determine whether a variable has a normal distribution. The symmetric shape of histogram conclude the data are normally distributed, the data fall around the straight line in normal probability plot follow normal distribution and there is no outlier present and box and whisker equal to the median in boxplot conclude data follow normal distribution.

Let's discuss one of them here. Do not forget that you need to deal with the Standard Normal Distribution here, where the mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.
