Suppose that a random sample of 100 observations was drawn from a population. After calculating the mean and standard deviation, each observation was standardised and the number of observations in each of the intervals below was counted. Can we infer at the 10% significance level that the data were drawn from a normal population? $$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Intervals } & \text { Frequency } \ \hline Z \leq - 1 & 12 \ \hline - 1

Suppose that a random sample of 100 observations was drawn from a population. After calculating the mean and standard deviation, each observation was standardised and the number of observations in each of the intervals below was counted. Can we infer at the 10% significance level that the data were drawn from a normal population? $$\begin{array} { | c | c | } 
\hline \text { Intervals } & \text { Frequency } \
