Question

Fasting blood glucose determinations made on 36 non-obese, apparently healthy, adult males are shown below. Using the most appropriate statistical test, determine whether we may conclude whether these data are normally distributed. Why did you choose the test that you chose as the most appropriate?

            75        92        80        80        84        72

            84        77        81        77        75        81

            80        92        72        77        78        76

            77        86        77        92        80        78

            68        78        92        68        80        81

            87        76        80        87        77        86

Explanation / Answer

we can check the distribution is normal or not by plotting the frequency distribution of the data.

the highest peak of the data is in between and the data is almost symmetric on both the sides of the peak

therefore the data is normally distributed with mean = 80.08 and standard deviation = 6.112
