The statement is false. The binomial distribution (discrete) or uniform distribution (discrete or continuous) are symmetrical but they are not normal. There are others.

What is symmetrical normal distribution?

The Normal distribution is, by definition, symmetric. There is no other kind of Normal distribution, so the adjective is not used.


Does this means that all symmetric distribution are normal Explain?

Don't know what "this" is, but all symmetric distributions are not normal. There are many distributions, discrete and continuous that are not normal. The uniform or binomial distributions are examples of discrete symmetric distibutions that are not normal. The uniform and the beta distribution with equal parameters are examples of a continuous distribution that is not normal. The uniform distribution can be discrete or continuous.

Normal distribution is symmetric about mean or median or mode?

Mean


Will the mean and median in a symmetric distribution always be equal or approximately equal and Why?

In a symmetric distribution, the mean and median will always be equal. This is because symmetry implies that the distribution is balanced around a central point, which is where both the mean (the average) and the median (the middle value) will fall. Therefore, in perfectly symmetric distributions like the normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode coincide at the center. In practice, they may be approximately equal in symmetric distributions that are not perfectly symmetrical due to rounding or sampling variability.


Is symmetrical a characteristic of a normal distribution?

The Normal ditribution is symmetric but so are other distributions.


Is the mean always equal to the median for a normal distribution?

Yes, in a normal distribution, the mean is always equal to the median. This is because the normal distribution is symmetric around its mean, meaning that the values are evenly distributed on both sides. As a result, the central tendency measured by both the mean and the median coincides at the same point.


Are all symmetric distribution are normal?

No. The binomial distribution (discrete) or uniform distribution (discrete or continuous) are symmetrical but they are not normal. There are others.


What type of probability distribution is the normal distribution?

It is a continuous parametric distribution belonging to the family of exponential distributions. It is also symmetric.


What is the important similarity between the uniform and normal probability distribution?

They are both continuous, symmetric distribution functions.
