Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A normal curve is characterized by a symmetrical bell-shaped distribution of scores with the majority of scores clustering around the mean, and fewer scores as one moves further away from the mean in either direction. Skewed, U-shaped, or asymmetrical curves do not exhibit this characteristic symmetrical bell shape.
