A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken.

What is the distribution for the weights of one 25-pound lifting weight?

• Normal distribution.

• Uniform distribution.

• Exponential distribution.

• Poisson distribution.
