Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The integer uniform distribution would be the most appropriate for modeling the number of students in a small classroom because the number of students cannot be a decimal or fraction and is constrained to be a whole number. The other distributions listed would not be ideal as they either have different ranges (normal, lognormal, exponential) or are not discrete (triangular).
