Normal Distribution: any normal distribution is going to be bell shaped but NOT symmetric.

A normal distribution is projected as a bell shaped distribution with the area can be symmetrically divided into two. In this case, the problem says non-symmetric districution which would have to be a skewed distribution. This type of distribution has unequal areas of each side which can be left or right.
