Assume that the average score on a statistical test is 8.5 and the variance is 2. The test was on the lighter side and the score distribution was very skewed (left skewed). What probability distribution is it reasonable to assume that the average grade of 3 randomly selected students who take the exam follows? 1. Normal distribution with mean 8.5 and variance 2. 2. Normal distribution with an average of 8.5 and a variance of 2/3. 3. Poisson distribution with an average of 8.5 and a distribution of 8. 4. The probability distribution cannot be predicted from the information provided.
