Question

A random sample of 16 undergraduate students receiving student loans was obtained, and the amounts of their loans for the school year were recorded. Use a normal probability

plot to assess whether the sample data could have come from a population that is normally distributed.

9.500 9,900 8,400 5,000

200 9,800 5.500 4,800

300 9,000 6.000 9,700

Using the correlation coefficient of the normal probability plot, is it reasonable t

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

conclude that the population is normally distributed? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice.

OA. Yes. The correlation between the expected 2-scores and the observed data.. exceeds the critical value. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the data come from a normal population.

OB. No. The correlation between the expected z-scores and the observed data., does not exceed the critical value. Therefore, it is not reasonable to conclude that the data come from a normal

population.

OC. Yes. The correlation between the expected z-scores and the observed data.. exceeds the critical value.

Therefore, it is not reasonable to conclude that the data come from a normal population.

OD. No. The correlation between the expected z-scores and the observed data, does not exceed the critical value. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the data come from a normal population.
