Recall Exercise 6.3 based on 100 measurements of the speed of light in air. In that chapter we tested the data for normality. Use the same data to construct a density estimator that you feel gives the best visual display of the information provided by the data. What parameters did you choose? The data can be downloaded from

Go to the NIST link below to download 100 measurements of the speed of light in air. This classic experiment was carried out by a U.S. Naval Academy teacher Albert Michelson is 1879. Do the data appear to be normally distributed? Use three tests (Kolmogorov. Anderson-Darling, Shapiro-Wilk) and compare answers.
