Question

Construct a frequency distribution for the data given below about the magnitudes of recent earthquakes recorded worldwide. Can we conclude that the magnitudes appear to have a normal distribution?
$4.5 comma 5.1 comma 6.2 comma 4.8 comma 5.6 comma 6.8 comma 7.1 comma 5.3 comma 4.9 comma 6.0 comma 5.8 comma 4.7 comma 5.2 comma 6.5 comma 7.3 comma 4.6 comma 5.9 comma 6.1 comma 5.4 comma 4.8 comma 6.7 comma 7.0 comma 5.5 comma 4.9 comma 6.3 comma 5.7 comma 6.9 comma 5.0 comma 4.6 comma 7.2$

Accepted Answer

No, the distribution does not appear normal because the frequencies are skewed on one side instead of a single bell-shaped curve.

Answer

Yes, the distribution is approximately normal because it follows a bell-shaped curve with a single peak in the middle and symmetry on both sides.

Answer

Yes, the distribution is normal because most values fall within the middle range, even if the shape is not perfectly symmetrical.

Answer

It cannot be decided without plotting a histogram.
