Q. 2

The number of violent crimes committed in a day possesses a distribution with a mean of 2.1 crimes per day and a standard deviation of 4 crimes per day.

  C) approximately normal with mean = 2.1 and standard deviation = 4
  D) approximately normal with mean = 2.1 and standard deviation = 0.4

Q. 3
