Given that the F test is not robust against departures from normality, it becomes necessary to verify
Question:
Given that the F test is not robust against departures from normality, it becomes necessary to verify that the two samples are from populations having distributions that are quite close to normal distributions. Assume that you want to test the claim of equal standard deviations using the samples of cholesterol levels of men and women listed in Data Set 1 in Appendix B. What are some methods that can be used to test for normality?
