Against the obsessive persecutors of no-normality
Suppose that the K-S test fails to reject H0 at the 5% level (the
Distribution is normal).
No. We conclude that we do not have evidence to reject the null
hypothesis that the distribution was drawn from a population with a
normal distribution. Subtly different, but it's important.
e.g. x = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
K-S test p-value is 1.00. So you think that's a normal distribution?
You must have done something wrong. The K-S test p-value
is almost never 1; it may be close, but I do not think that
this sample is that close.
The rest of your post made no sense to me.
