Question

Which of the following statements about Normal quantile plots is (are) FALSE?

A) In constructing a Normal quantile plot each data point is plotted against its corresponding Normal score.

B) The Normal quantile plot is a very useful graphical tool for assessing the adequacy of the Normal model.

C) If the points on a Normal quantile plot lie close to a straight line, the plot indicates that the Normal model is an adequate representation for the data.

D) Because you can see the usual mound-like appearance of the Normal distribution on a histogram, the Normal quantile plot is useless for assessing Normality.

E) On a quantile plot, outliers will appear as points that are far away from the overall pattern of the plot.
