The weight of tomatoes chosen at random from a bin at the farmer’s market follows a Normal distribution with mean = 10 ounces and standard deviation  = 1 ounce. Suppose we pick four tomatoes at random from the bin and find their total weight T. The random variable T is

• Normal, with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 1 ounce.

• Normal, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 2 ounces

• Normal, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 4 ounces

• binomial, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 2 ounces

• binomial, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 4 ounces.
