AP Statistics: Using 5 point summary to determine if its a normal distribution

A study recorded the amount of oil recovered from the 64 wells in an oil field, in thousands of barrels. Here are the descriptive statistics for that set of data from a statistical software.

Note: The Mean and median are not same, there is too much difference in normal distribution they are almost same. The distance of median from the min and max values are not same or median is not equidistant from min and max values. Hence the data is not Normally distributed.
