The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution or bell curve, is widely used in science. It is a probability distribution that has the following properties. The distribution has a single peak located at the mean. Furthermore, the mean, median and mode are all equal, so they also correspond to the location of the highest point in a normal distribution. The distribution is symmetric. In other words, it has no skew. It is parametric meaning that the distribution is completely characterized by two parameters: the mean and standard deviation. The normal distribution is "light tailed". This means that as you move away from the mean, the probabilities get small very quickly.One of the reasons that the normal distribution is used so widely is that is arises naturally in many real world situations.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing.” William James.

What Willia James tried to share with this quote was that people have to forget and live. That it is not a good thing to carry the burdens of life, generating resentments all your life. Whatever happened one year ago or ten years ago, it's in the past. To be happy you have to free of those burdens that come from time to time and produce bad feelings, just by reminding you what happened or who made what to who.

So for me is a good quote to remind ourselves to forgive and forget, and keep on living a happy life without resentments.

Answer:

B) The sample size must be greater than 30

Explanation:

According to the central limit theorem the sample size must be greater than 30 in sampling distributions to state that it is approximately normal.

Therefore, the sample size must be greater than 30 for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of housing units in the large city that are rentals to be approximately normal.
