    Data set B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given are 4 data sets. We have to check which is farthest from normal distribution.

    We know that a normal distribution is bell shaped with mean = median = mode. Also 99% lie within 3 std deviations from the mean.

    Data set A: Mean = Median = mode = 4

    Data set B: Mean = 6.58: Median = mode = 7

    Data set C: Mean = 1.1: Median = mode = 1.1

    Data set D: Mean = 6.46: Median = mode = 7

    We find that while A and C have exact characteristics of normal, B and D have a slight deviation

    Of these D has more deviation than B

    Hence answer is data set B
