The graph of the annual snowfall distribution (in feet) for a
particular county is shown below on the left with its mean and
standard deviation. Assume that a sample size of 100 is
drawn from the population. Determine which of the graphs
labeled (a)-(c) would most closely resemble the sampling
distribution of the sample means. Explain your reasoning.
