Question
### Analyzing Normal Quantile Plot for Geyser Eruptions

#### Description:
The normal quantile plot displayed represents the duration times (in seconds) of eruptions of a particular geyser gathered from the accompanying data set. The goal is to examine this plot and determine whether it depicts sample data from a population with a normal distribution.

#### Instructions:
- Examine the normal quantile plot.
- Determine if the distribution of the eruption durations follows a normal distribution.

#### Data Table:
The data set provided corresponds to eruption durations (shown in seconds) as follows:

| Duration (sec) | Duration (sec) | Duration (sec) |
|----------------|----------------|----------------|
| 202 | 199 | 213 |
| 150 | 158 | 183 |
| 130 | 192 | 216 |
| 217 | 180 | 162 |
| 197 | 228 | 209 |
| 280 | 186 | 163 |
| 236 | 113 | 250 |
| 183 | 216 | 145 |
| 162 | 200 | 225 |
| 209 | 201 | 267 |
| 213 | 188 | 235 |
| 163 | 162 | 197 |
| 250 | 255 | 180 |
| 145 | 205 | 222 |
| 225 | 200 | 204 |
| 169 | 166 |

#### Plot Analysis:
The normal quantile plot to the right of the data distribution:

**Graph Explanation:**
- The X-axis represents the sample data values.
- The Y-axis represents the theoretical quantiles from a standard normal distribution.
- The red line indicates a perfectly normal distribution.

**Interpretation Task:**
Based on the plotted points in comparison with the red line, choose the correct analysis of the data distribution.

#### Question:
**Choose the correct answer below:**

- (A) **The distribution is not normal.** The points are not reasonably close to a straight line.
- (B) **The distribution is normal.** The points show a systematic pattern that is not a straight-line pattern.
- (C) **The distribution is normal.** The points are reasonably close to a straight line and do not show a systematic pattern that is not a straight-line pattern.
- (D) **The distribution is not normal.** The points
