Question

.

A normal probability plot of the survival times of the guinea pigs in a medical experiment is shown below. Use this plot to describe the shape of the distribution of survival times. Then, explain carefully how this shape is seen in the normal probability plot. That is, make the connection between the normal probability plot and the shape of the data.

Answer 1

the probability plot shows that the guinea pigs that survived increasingly grew quickly, most likely when they started getting all of the guinea pigs done some  came along and that is what the staggering points on the grid.
