What is the shape of a normal distribution?
It is a symmetrical, "bell-shaped" curve. The tails are infinitely long.
What is one advantage of transforming X values into z scores?
The transformation always creates a normal shaped distribution.
Is normal distribution symmetrical?
Yes. By definition. A normal distribution has a bell-shaped density curve described by its mean and standard deviation. The density curve is symmetrical(i.e., an exact reflection of form on opposite sides of a dividing line), and centered about (divided by) its mean, with its spread (width) determined by its standard deviation. Additionally, the mean, median, and mode of the distribution are equal and located at the peak (i.e., height of the curve).
What is the expected shape of the distribution of the sample mean?
The distribution of the sample mean is bell-shaped or is a normal distribution.
Is a bell shaped curve an example of a skewed distribution?
No.
In a perfectly symmetrical bell-shaped normal distribution?
Normal distribution is a perfectly symmetrical bell-shaped normal distribution. The bell curve is used to find the median, mean and mode of a function.
What A symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution of many types of data. most scores fall near the mean?
The symmetrical bell-shaped curve you're describing is known as a normal distribution. In this distribution, most scores cluster around the mean, with fewer scores appearing as you move away from the mean in either direction. This characteristic shape indicates that data points are more likely to occur near the average, with the probability of extreme scores decreasing as you move away from the center. The normal distribution is foundational in statistics, as many statistical tests assume that the data follows this pattern.
The distribution of intelligence test scores in the general population forms a bell-shaped pattern This pattern is called?
The pattern is called a normal distribution, or a bell curve. It is characterized by symmetrical data points around the mean, with most scores clustering around the average and progressively fewer scores as you move away from the mean in either direction.

Another name for the Normal Distribution?
Gaussian distribution. Some people refer to the normal distribution as a "bell shaped" curve, but this should be avoided, as there are other bell shaped symmetrical curves which are not normal distributions.
What is a hill-shaped curve centered around an average value?
A hill-shaped curve centered around an average value typically represents a probability distribution, where the highest point of the curve corresponds to the mean or average. This shape indicates that values closer to the average are more frequent, while values further away are less common, creating a peak at the center. An example of such a distribution is the normal distribution, which is symmetrical and bell-shaped. This type of curve is useful in statistics for understanding the behavior of data sets.
What is one advantage of transforming X values into z scores?
The transformation always creates a normal shaped distribution.
A distribution with a shape that is symmetrical around the mean with a bell shape is described as?
The distribution described is a normal distribution. It is characterized by a symmetric bell-shaped curve where the mean, median, and mode are all equal and located at the center of the distribution.
What is a symmetrical shaped oval?
Eclipse
Normal distributions are asymmetrical and bell-shaped?
No. They are symmetrical and bell-shaped.
Is normal distribution symmetrical?
Yes. By definition. A normal distribution has a bell-shaped density curve described by its mean and standard deviation. The density curve is symmetrical(i.e., an exact reflection of form on opposite sides of a dividing line), and centered about (divided by) its mean, with its spread (width) determined by its standard deviation. Additionally, the mean, median, and mode of the distribution are equal and located at the peak (i.e., height of the curve).
Define a normal random variable?
I have included two links. A normal random variable is a random variable whose associated probability distribution is the normal probability distribution. By definition, a random variable has to have an associated distribution. The normal distribution (probability density function) is defined by a mathematical formula with a mean and standard deviation as parameters. The normal distribution is ofter called a bell-shaped curve, because of its symmetrical shape. It is not the only symmetrical distribution. The two links should provide more information beyond this simple definition.
