D. the value of a card drawn at random from a stack of cards numbered from 1 to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal distribution can be defined as a distribution in a statistical data that is used to solve for probability. The curve of a normal distribution is in a bell shape.

Some of the features that have been observed to be shown in a normal distribution are:

a. In a normal distribution, the mean, median and mode are always the same.

b. In a normal distribution when a line of symmetry is passed through the distribution curve, we have equal and similar amounts of statistical data on both sides hence, a normal distribution is said to be perfectly symmetrical.

c. The curve of a normal distribution is also asymptotic in nature.

A normal distribution can also be called or referred to as Gaussian distribution.
