Question

It is estimated that the weight of air passengers at Keflavík Airport is on average 80.3 kg with a propulsion of 400 kg. What probability distribution is it reasonable to assume that the average weight of 200 passengers in one flight follows?
a) Poisson distribution with an average of 80.3 and a distribution of 2.
b) Binary distribution with an average of 80.3 and a variance of 28.3.
c) Normal distribution with mean 80.3 and variance 2.
d) Normal distribution with an average of 80.3 and a distribution of 28.3.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
