Question

Use the given data values (a sample of female arm circumferences in centimeters) to identify the corresponding z scores that are used for a normal quantile plot, then identify the coordinates of each point in the normal quantile plot. Construct the normal quantile plot, then determine whether the data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution.

a. List the z scores for the normal quantile plot.

(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)

b. identify the coordinates of each point in the normal quantile plot. Use ordered pairs for the form (x,y), where x is the sorted arm circumferences in ascending order, and y is the corresponding z score.

(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
