What if residuals are normally distributed, but y is not?
I've got a weird question. Assume that you have a small sample where the dependent variable that you're going to analyze with a simple linear model is highly left skewed. Thus you assume that $u$ is ...

What to do when Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is significant for residuals of parametric test but skewness and kurtosis look normal?
I have conducted a parametric test in a study, n=290. I want to assess whether the residuals of this test are normally distributed.
The skewness and kurtosis of the residuals are -0.017 and -0.438 ...

(Prompted to some extent by the answers already given by Shane and Srikant, I've rewritten this to try to clarify what I'm getting at, if only to myself.)
Suppose we have several similar systems, ...

The ends of these graphs confuse me. I know most of the values fall on or near the line. But I am unsure of whether the data is indeed approximately normal. These are the two graphs.
