Question

Which data set is the farthest from a normal distribution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Data set B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are 4 data sets.  We have to check which is farthest from normal distribution.

We know that a normal distribution is bell shaped with mean = median = mode.  Also 99% lie within 3 std deviations from the mean.

Data set A: Mean = Median = mode =4

Data set B: Mean =6.58: Median = mode  =7

Data set C: Mean =1.1: Median = mode  =1.1

Data set D: Mean =6.46: Median = mode  =7

We find that while A and C have exact characteristics of normal, B and D have a slight deviation

Of these D has more deviation than B

Hence answer is data set B
