From the above histogram, it is observed that the given data is approximately normally distributed.
Skewness is very less for the given data and it is skewed at right side.
There is a kurtosis exist for the given data.
The coefficient of kurtosis by using excel for the given data is 0.853653. This means the given data is approximately symmetric.
[We know that if the coefficient of kurtosis is lies between -0.5 and 0.5, then data is approximately normal.]

Students enrolled in an introductory statistics course at a
university were asked to take a survey that indicated whether the
student’s learning style was more visual or verbal. Each student
received a numerical score ranging from -11 to +11. Negative scores
indicated a visual learner, and positive scores indicated a verbal
learner. The closer the score was to -11 or +11, the stronger the
student’s inclination toward that learning style. A score of 0
would indicate neutrality between visual or...

In a class survey, students are asked how many hours they sleep
per night. In the random sample of 18 students, the (sample) mean
is 6.8 hours with a (sample) standard deviation of 1.9 hours. We
wish to know if this shows that the class’s student population on
average has not gotten at least the recommended 8 hours of sleep at
the α = .1 level. The distribution of sleep for this population
follows a normal distribution.
