Moreover the original 64 data do not follow any usual distribution. <br> For finding strength distribution the mean and the std deviation should not change when converting the non-normal data into normal. So i used normrnd command, specifying the mean, std.dev of the original data. And acquired a distribution which is normal with the original data's mean and std dev.<br> <br> Is my approach is correct??<br> &nbsp;
