Please help me with the following question.

Scientists in the Amazon are trying to find a cure for a deadly disease that is attacking the rain forests there. One of the variables that the scientists have been measuring involves the diameter of the trunk of the trees that have been affected by the disease. Scientists have calculated that the average diameter of the diseased trees is 42 centimeters. They also know that approximately 95% of the diameters fall between 32 and 52 centimeters and almost all of the diseased trees has diameters between 27 and 57 centimeters. When modeling the diameters of diseased trees, which distribution should the scientists use?
    a. Poisson distribution
    b. Binomial distribution
    c. Normal distribution
    d. Cumulative distribution

Solution

C.

They should use NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. [OPTION C]

This is so because it seems to be centered around 42 cm, which is a characteristic of a normal distribution.
