Haha, Formulosis? Really? Sounds like the name of a rare disease you'd find in a sci-fi novel, not a stats term. I'm sticking with the classic options here.

I'm going with E. Granularity. What is that even supposed to mean in the context of data distributions? Sounds like the exam writer was just trying to trip us up.

Kurtosis is definitely a primary cause for Non-normal Data. I'm surprised that's an option here. This exam is testing our stats knowledge, not our creativity.

I think E) Granularity could also be a cause for Non-normal Data.

I'm gonna go with D. Formulosis. Sounds like some kind of medical condition, not a data issue. Plus, it's the only one I don't recognize from my stats class.

Yeah, Formulosis definitely stands out as not being a primary cause for Non-normal Data.

I agree, Formulosis doesn't seem like it belongs with the other data-related terms.

I think D is the odd one out too. Formulosis does sound like a medical term.

I think you're right. It must be the odd one out. Good observation.

Yeah, I agree. Formulosis does sound more like a medical term. It's not related to data.

I'm not sure about Formulosis, but I know for sure that C) Kurtosis is a primary cause.

Hmm, I'd say Formulosis is definitely not a primary cause for Non-normal Data. That sounds like a made-up term. Let's stick to the real stats concepts here.
