Q. TESTING FOR NORMALITY. Do those weights appear to come from a population that has a normal distribution? Explain.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One way to test this is to construct a histogram of the data.
Enter the data in your calclator or statistical software
program and let it generate a histogram. If the appearance
is similar to a bell curve you could conclude it comes from
a normally distributed population.
