Determining if normal distribution

[mbrother11]

I am working on an assignment where I need to use either ANOVA or KRUSKAL_WALLIS testing. ANOVA assumes data with normal distribution...how do I test whether my data is normally distributed or not?

Can Megastat test this for me? Or Excel?

Please help if you can...I have to give the assignment as a presentation and I am panicking.

To determine normality, you can either run an Anderson-Darling test or do a normal probability plot.

Sorry - never heard of Megastat.
