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.
