Shapiro-Wilk test
In this exercise, you will check the normality of data.
Normal data is an underlying assumption for many statistical tests. You need to know how to assess the normality of the data before you run these statistical tests during the interview.
The Shapiro-Wilk test is a popular test for testing normality.
Recall that the log transformation can be used to transform skewed data to approximately conform to normality.
