Abstract: A new method to test whether the measurement data belonging to
the normal distribution or not has been proposed by analyzing correlation coefficients, the BASIC program has been passed in
IBM computer. Because the statistic analysis of correlation
coefficient is used, this method has more accurate, simpler and
quicker advantages than traditional normal probability paper
method. Correlation coefficients and the maximum correlation
coefficient are given in varied groups of data by the program so
that the test results are more reliable.
Key words: Correlation
coefficient Linear correlation Normal distribution
