Not really. The distribution is not only discrete but also heavily skewed. However, the average number of children in sets of families can be approximated by the normal distribution.
Yes, it is.
No.A discrete variable is a variable that can not assume all possible values within a given range.For example, if I were to conduct a survey on the number of children people had, then my answers would be numbers such as 0, 1, 2 and so forth (i.e. they would be whole numbers). This particular variable could not have a value in between these (a non integer value), such as 1.345, as this makes no sense in this context. This makes the variable discrete.
There are many variables that are not normally distributed. You can describe them using a probability distribution function or its cumulative version; you can present them graphically.
Yes, is a discrete variable.
It means that the probability distribution function of the variable is the Gaussian or normal distribution.
Yes, it is.

The value of a roll of two dice is normally distributed.
Neither. It is a discrete variable.
Yes. (Although it is normally recorded in a discrete form.)

It means that the probability distribution function of the variable is the Gaussian or normal distribution.
A discrete variable is one that cannot take on all values within the limits of the variable.
It is a discrete random variable.
