Essay

Examine the given data set and determine whether the requirement of a normal distribution is satisfied. Assume that the requirement for a normal distribution is loose in the sense that the population distribution need not be exactly normal, but it must have a distribution which is basically symmetric with only one mode. Explain why you do or do not think that the requirement is satisfied.
