Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A symmetrical or bell-shaped curve is known as a normal distribution. It is characterized by a central tendency (mean, median, and mode are all the same) and a standard deviation that determines the spread of the distribution. Skewed distributions, on the other hand, are asymmetrical and have a longer tail on one side. Significant and common are not related to this concept.
