Sorry i meant like a list of questions and answers for when it asks you question such as
eg.
Q. give a reason why normal distribution was suitable to present the data
A. because there is no skewness in the data

Q.Why was the median used instead of the mean to present the data
A. because the data is skewed and the median is not affected by the large values
