How do I determine if my data deviate from the normal distribution?
The sample size is 1000 (weights of people).
See
?qqnorm
and/or
?shapiro.test
and/or
a text book on applied statistics
and/or
google for "testing normality".

PS: With n = 1000 your data will almost inevitably deviate from the normal
distribution.
