How do you plot a Q-Q plot in SAS?
The QQPLOT statement creates quantile-quantile plots (Q-Q plots) and compares ordered variable values with quantiles of a specified theoretical distribution….Distribution Options.

| NORMAL(normal-options) | Specifies a normal Q-Q plot |
What does a Q-Q plot tell you?
Q-Q plots are used to find the type of distribution for a random variable whether it be a Gaussian Distribution, Uniform Distribution, Exponential Distribution or even Pareto Distribution, etc. You can tell the type of distribution using the power of the Q-Q plot just by looking at the plot.
What is Q-Q plot example?
Q Q Plots (Quantile-Quantile plots) are plots of two quantiles against each other. For example, the median is a quantile where 50% of the data fall below that point and 50% lie above it. The purpose of Q Q plots is to find out if two sets of data come from the same distribution.

How do you know if a QQ plot is normal?
If the data is normally distributed, the points in the QQ-normal plot lie on a straight diagonal line. You can add this line to you QQ plot with the command qqline(x) , where x is the vector of values. The deviations from the straight line are minimal. This indicates normal distribution.
What does a normal Q-Q plot look like?
The normal distribution is symmetric, so it has no skew (the mean is equal to the median). On a Q-Q plot normally distributed data appears as roughly a straight line (although the ends of the Q-Q plot often start to deviate from the straight line).
