Re: ordianal data - normal distribution

Is "normality" what you wanted to test?

Hi Ulrich,
we would only test a hypothesis.
While visualizing the graphical setup, it appears that the peaks would fit to a normal distribution curve. Therefore we would like to calculate this normal distribution curve and would like to get a value how they fit to this curve.

The better they fit, the better would be the quality of the observation, and maybe the hypothesis could be proved.
8 is only the minimum sample size.

With regards Carmen
