A) The normal distribution is often depicted as a bell-shaped curve. 
B) The mean and median are equal in a symmetrical distribution, which is characteristic of a normal distribution. 
C) In a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the scores fall within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% fall within two standard deviations, and 99.7% fall within three standard deviations. Therefore, the percentage of scores falling above and below the mean depends on the specific value of the mean and standard deviation.
