Normal Probability Plot of Stopwatch Reading Data

This document describes preparing a normal probability plot for a set of 50 stopwatch reading observations. It lists the raw observations and their corresponding ranks from smallest to largest. A normal probability plot is then shown graphing the ordered values against their expected normal distribution values to assess whether the data is approximately normally distributed. The cumulative probabilities and corresponding z-values for a standard normal distribution are also provided.
