NORMALITYTHE HYPOTHESES USED ARE

3. Normality

The hypotheses used are:

: The sample data are not significantly different than normal.

: The sample data are significantly different than normal.

Figure 7.5: Normality test (Source: Gretl)

It can be seen from the figure 7.5 that:

p-value=0.6038>0.05

⇒With the common = 5% for the 2-tail test, we are able to give the conclusion to

accept the assumption H0

Conclusion: u

i

follows the normal distribution.

Analysis:

The normal distribution is a probability function that describes how the

values of a variable are distributed. The result of our test showed that the model has

a normal distribution, which means that the parameters of our model is significant.
