Step 1
If we suspect linear relationship between two variables, then for a given set of data, we can evaluate the value of Pearson correlation coefficient without having any assumption. And we can have a sense of with what intensity the variables are linearly related.
Step 2
But if we would like to test the significance of a given correlation value for a set of observations, and we would like to infer whether the data really gives sufficient evidence in favor of significant correlation or linear relationhip between considered variables, then for the construction of test statistics, assumption of normality is necessary.

The manager of the store in the preceding exercise calculated the residual for each point in the scatterplot and made a dotplot of the residuals.
The distribution of residuals is roughly Normal with a mean of $0 and standard deviation of $22.92.
The middle 95% of residuals should be between which two values? Use this information to give an interval of plausible values for the weekly sales revenue if 5 linear feet are allocated to the stores
