distribution function for 100 normal random numbers. The K-S test is based on the maximum distance between these two curves. Characteristics and Limitations of the K-S TestAn attractive feature of this test is that the distribution of the K-S test statistic itself does not depend on the underlying cumulative distribution function being tested. Another advantage is that it is an exact test (the chi-square goodness-of-fit test depends on an adequate sample size for the approximations to be valid). Despite

shorter than TT Air‚ it does not significantly affect the output as the one day does not change much (unless there had been a market shock). However based on Central Limit Theorem‚ if the sample size is greater than or equal to 30 samples‚ the sample statistics reflect the time population parameters. • The Median data does not show much in this case as the range (4.7 AA Fly and 6.8 TT Air) is small for both AA Fly and TT Air. This means that the mean is more applicable to be used. • The Mode of AA
