Example 4.30

The above graph shows the normal probability plot for the voltage data of Example 4.30. The graph below shows the normal probability plot for a random sample of the same size from a normal distribution. Click repeatedly on the "New Sample" button below to get a sense of what the normal probability plots look like when the data come from a normal distribution.

 

Now, change the sample size in the box and see how that affects the normal probability plot for samples that are indeed from a normal distribution.

NOTE: if the applet display is incorrect, move the cursor over the graph to refresh it.
