Plot the data on both the normal and lognormal probability papers, and construct the least-squares regression line through the data points and determine the coefficient of determination if a linear trend can be observed from each probability plot. You are recommended to use Microsoft Excel to make the plot and determine the coefficient of determination. From a visual inspection of the plotted data points, the underlying distribution is a better model to represent the probability distribution of the vehicular speed in the carriageway. Estimate the parameters of the normal and lognormal distributions respectively

Normal Distribution Probability Plots: Least-squares regression line y=Ax+B R^2

Lognormal Distribution Probability Plots: Least-squares regression line y=Ax+B R^2
