B)binomial distribution
C)normal distribution
D)negative exponential distribution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The negative exponential distribution is used to model the time between events in a process which occur independently at a constant rate. The Poisson distribution is used to model the number of events that occur in a fixed interval of time given the average rate of occurrence. The binomial distribution is used to model the number of successes in a fixed number of trials with a constant probability of success. The normal distribution is used to model continuous random variables with a symmetric, bell-shaped distribution.
