Solution

The correct answer is c. Normal distribution.

Here's why:

a. Binomial distribution: This is used for discrete random variables, specifically for a series of n binary experiments.

b. Discrete distribution: This is used for discrete random variables, which are variables that have a countable number of possible outcomes.

c. Normal distribution: This is used for continuous random variables. It's a probability function that describes how the values of a variable are distributed. It is a symmetric distribution where most of the observations cluster around the central peak and the probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off equally
