1. Is this homework?
2. This is not an R question. Post to a statistical list list
stats.stackexchange.com for such questions.
3. If this is not homework, I suggest you consult a local statistical
expert, as your statistics knowledge appears minimal.
4. No variable is **ever** normally distributed.
5. Tests of normality are a waste of time (this is **my** opinion only).

Cheers,
Bert
