Chapter 3, Problem 6CRE

Normal Distribution Instead of using the hand lengths in Exercise 1, a much larger sample of hand lengths is used and a frequency distribution is created. The frequencies listed in order are 1, 8, 56, 237, 382, 228, 48, 4, 1. Does it appear that the sample is from a population having a normal distribution? Explain.
