a. Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.

b. Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.

c. Obtain the interquartile range (IQR) for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.

d. Construct a normal probability plot for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption. Applying the Concepts—Intermediate
