A)the null hypothesis is that the population has the specified normal distribution.
B)compute the mean and standard deviation of the sample.
C)define an interval of values such that the expected frequency is at least 5 in each interval.
D)record the expected frequencies for each interval using a histogram
E)reject the null hypothesis if the p-value

When conducting a goodness of fit test for a normal distribution, which of the following is NOT done:
A)the null hypothesis is that the population has the specified normal distribution.
B)compute the mean and standard deviation of the sample.
C)define an interval of values such that the expected frequency is at least 5 in each interval.
D)record the expected frequencies for each interval using a histogram
E)reject the null hypothesis if the p-value < $\alpha$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recording the expected frequencies for each interval using a histogram is not a step in conducting a goodness of fit test for a normal distribution. Instead, expected frequencies are calculated based on the theoretical distribution and compared to the observed frequencies in the sample.
