Answer

Normal

Work Step by Step

We know the following equation for z-scores: $z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ Thus, after finding the standard deviation and average using a calculator, we use this equation to see that the coordinates (x,z) are: $(.864,-.28);(.869,0);(.886,.28);(.887,.6);(.912,.97);(.942,1.59)(.825,-1.59); (.825,-.97);(.855,-.6)$ After we use this to create the normal quantile plot, we see if the data are in a straight line. In this case, since the data are in a straight line, we see that the distribution is normal.
