For the data above, construct a frequency table and histogram. Evaluate the graphics. Is the data normally distributed? If not, is it positively or negatively skewed? Is there kurtosis?

The frequency distribution and histogram by using excel for the given data is given as below:

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...
