Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The standard normal-family density is f(x) = (1/(Οβ(2Ο))) exp(-(x - ΞΌ)Β²/(2ΟΒ²)), for -β < x < β. The given density is (1/(3β(2Ο))) exp(-xΒ²/18). Comparing terms gives ΞΌ = 0 and 2ΟΒ² = 18, so ΟΒ² = 9 and Ο = 3. Therefore X follows a normal distribution. The correct option is Normal.
