Explanation:

Step1: Recall normal probability plot concept

In a normal probability plot, if the data is approximately normal, the points should follow a straight - line pattern.

Step2: Analyze the given plot

The points in the given normal probability plot do not follow a straight - line pattern. They show a curved shape, especially in the tails.
