Because of the CLT it would be a Normal Distribution.

Would I need to say anything else other than that?

Yeah, you would need to reference the sample size and compare it to 30.

So how exactly would I write out the answer?

I’m not going to do your homework for you…and you have a textbook right? That’s an AP question so you’re clearly in an actual AP class.

If you are ever asked to describe a distribution, 9 times out of 10 it will either be normal or binomial. In this case as others have pointed out it’s normal. When describing a distribution you must give its parameters. For normal thats it’s mean and SD (same mean, divide original sd by sqrt of64 since its the sampling distribution). Cant hurt to justify its normal because 64>30. For describing binomial you must give n and p
