What do these numbers mean?
  • Use the p-value and plot together.
  • Check unusual observations.

The p-value is an approximation and does not validate independence or the sampling plan.

How do I use this page?
  1. Paste values.
  2. Inspect the statistic and plot.

What this page does not do: The p-value is an approximation and does not validate independence or the sampling plan.

Theory — what is the Shapiro–Wilk test?

The Shapiro–Wilk test checks whether a single sample could come from a normal distribution. The calculation relies on expected normal scores and an explicitly described approximation used within the Shapiro–Wilk family of methods. The calculator presents the test statistic alongside the p-value and a QQ plot, making it easier to judge deviations from normality. A small p-value means the observed sample is hard to reconcile with the fitted normal distribution.

Frequently asked questions

What does a small p-value mean?
