How to test data for multivariate normality?
A graphical test of multivariate normality. If you want a quick check to determine whether data “looks like” it came from a MVN distribution, create a plot of the squared Mahalanobis distances versus quantiles of the chi-square distribution with p degrees of freedom, where p is the number of variables in the data.
Why are all marginal distributions normal in multivariate data?
This is characteristic of multivariate normal data: all marginal distributions are also normal. (This explains why the %MULTNORM macro includes univariate tests of normality in its test results.)
Which is a characteristic of a multivariate normal data?
The off-diagonal elements show that the pairwise distributions are bivariate normal. This is characteristic of multivariate normal data: all marginal distributions are also normal. (This explains why the %MULTNORM macro includes univariate tests of normality in its test results.)

What does the scatter plot show about multivariate normality?
The scatter plot matrix shows (on the diagonal) that each variable is approximately normally distributed. The off-diagonal elements show that the pairwise distributions are bivariate normal. This is characteristic of multivariate normal data: all marginal distributions are also normal.
Where are the outliers in a multivariate normal distribution?
This should resemble a straight-line for data from a multivariate normal distribution. Outliers will show up as points on the upper right side of the plot for which the Mahalanobis distance is notably greater than the chi-square quantile value.
