Question

The graph shows the distribution of the amount of chicken (in ounces) that adults eat in one sitting.

Answer 1

Using concepts of the normal and of the uniform distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

The distribution is approximately Normal, with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.2 ounces.

• In an uniform distribution, all outcomes are equally as likely, thus they have the same height.
• In the normal distribution, the outcomes with the highest likelihood are those closest to the mean, thus they have the highest height. This means that the mean of this distribution is 8.

• The standard deviation cannot be a negative value, so in this problem, it is 1.2, which means that the correct option is:

The distribution is approximately Normal, with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.2 ounces.
