• Step 4: Skewness (Variable Name) formula can be used to check skewness. The
value of perfect skewness will be 0.
Example : Skewness(Math)
• Step 5: Kurtosis (Variable Name) formula can be used to check kurtosis. The
normal value of the kurtosis will be 3.
If more than 3 then called as Leucocratic and less than 3 called as Plutocratic.
Example : Kurtosis(Math)

There are three main test of normality : 1. Shapiro Wilk Test 2. Anderson Darling Test
3. Lilliefors Test (Kolmogorov Smirnov)
Decision rule : if the p value is more than .050 than data will be considered as data is
normally distributed.
Anderson-Darling normality test data: math A = 2.0163, p-value = 3.61e-05
