A random sample of 16 undergraduate students receiving studentloans was​obtained, and the amounts of their loans for the schoolyear were recorded. Use a normal probability plot to assess whetherthe sample data could have come from a population that is normallydistributed. 6,200 6,700 1,200 2,000 2,300 8,400 7,700 5,500 6,300 4,700 3,000 3,900 1,200 2,800 2,700 7,300

Using the correlation coefficient of the normal probability​plot, is it reasonable to conclude that the population is normally​distributed? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answerboxes within your choice.

A. No. The correlation between the expected​ z-scores and theobserved​ data, _____ does not exceed the critical ​value,_______.​Therefore, it is not reasonable to conclude that the datacome from a normal population.

B. Yes. The correlation between the expected​ z-scores and theobserved​ data, _______ exceeds the critical​ value, ______.​Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the data come from anormal population.

C. Yes. The correlation between the expected​ z-scores and theobserved​ data, _______ exceeds the critical value _____.​Therefore, it is not reasonable to conclude that the data comefrom a normal population.

D. No. The correlation between the expected​ z-scores and theobserved​ data, _______ does not exceed the critical​value, ______.​Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the data come from anormal population.
