The skewness of ECI is 0.018, which is near to 0 and the kurtosis is -0.510, which
implies that the distribution is flatter than a normal distribution. Therefore, this data set
does not meet the assumptions of normality.
The skewness of OE is -1.401, which is less than 0 implying a left tailed distribution.
Therefore, the assumption of normality is not met for this data set.
