Assessing Normality and Data Transformations

Role of Normality. Many statistical methods require that the numeric variables we are working with have an approximate normal distribution.For example, t-tests, F-tests, and regression analyses all require in some sense that the numeric variables are approximately normally distributed.. Standardized normal distribution with empirical rule percentages..

Testing Normality

Testing Normality. Many test procedures that we have developed rely on the assumption of Normality. There are many test for Normality of data. One uses the normal to provide cell probabilities for the chi-square goodness-of-fit test. A “better” test is based on the Normal Probability Plot.
