Answer 1

Solution :

Normal Distribution :

It is a function which normally describes the the spread of the crown/no. of participants attending the event. It shows how evenly the crowd is distributed through the time period. Its a symmetric distribution where most of the values cluster around in the center/central peak. In this event the participants are normally distributed, most of the observations cluster around the central peak and the probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off equally in both directions.
