The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test - are stock returns normally distributed? (Excel) (SUB)

Hello everyone! In today's video, I'm going to explain the concept of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The K-S test is the statistical tool that is used in Finance to check if the stock returns are normally distributed. I will explain the test and demonstrate how to apply it in Excel using the data on S&P 500 benchmark.
