Question: The normal quantile plot represents duration times (in seconds) of Old Faithful eruptions from Data Set 15 in Appendix B. Examine the normal quantile plot

The normal quantile plot represents duration times (in seconds) of Old Faithful eruptions from Data Set 15 in Appendix B.

Data Set 15: Old Faithful Geyser Interval Interval Prediction Duration Before After

Examine the normal quantile plot and determine whether it depicts sample data from a population with a normal distribution.

Height (ft) Error (sec) (min) (min) (min) Measurements are from eruptions of

Data Set 15: Old Faithful Geyser Interval Interval Prediction Duration Before After Height (ft) Error (sec) (min) (min) (min) Measurements are from eruptions of the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Prediction errors are based on predicted times to the erup- tion, where a negative value corre- sponds to an eruption that occurred before the predicted time. 240 98 92 140 237 92 95 95 140 148 -2 250 92 243 87 100 130 -7 255 96 90 65 125 120 90 110 -4 260 178 136 125 STATDISK: Data set name is 65 92 92 72 -2 OldFaith. 259 95 93 Minitab: Worksheet name is 93 115 245 98 120 -1 OLDFAITH.MTw.
