My first thought would be to compare the cumulative distribution function of your samples and a normally distributed CDF.

Hi,
Does anybody know how I can test wether or not some samples are normaly distributed? I tried graphical methods, such as looking at histograms and qqplots, but I don't trust my own judgement enough to use graphical methods.
