The amount of juice that can be squeezed from a randomly selected orange is a continuous variable that is likely to follow a normal distribution. This is because the sizes of oranges in the box are approximately the same, so the amount of juice that can be squeezed will not vary drastically. The central limit theorem also suggests that the sample means from a large number of oranges will be normally distributed.
