Are these true of normal probability distribution IIt is symmetric about the mean TTotal area under the normal distribution curve is equal to 1 DDistribution is totally described by two quantities?

Yes, it is true; and the 2 quantities that describe a normal distribution are mean and standard deviation.


Normal distribution is symmetric about mean or median or mode?

Mean


Describe the properties of a normal distribution?

A normal distribution is symmetric and when looked at on a graph, the graph looks like a bell shaped curve. Approximately 95 percent of its values should lie within two standard deviations of the mean. Frequency of the data lies mostly in the middle of the curve.


What is the relation between mean mode median in symmetric normal distribution?

They are all the same.


Which normal distribution is also the standard normal curve?

The normal distribution would be a standard normal distribution if it had a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1.


If the mean of a symmetric distribution is 130 which of these values could be the median of the distribution?

If it is a symmetric distribution, the median must be 130.


What is the difference between a general normal curve and a standard normal curve?

A standard normal distribution has a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1. A normal distribution can have any real number as a mean and the standard deviation must be greater than zero.


Does normal distribution have two unequal parts?

It can do. If you define a quarter of it as one part and the rest as another, the two WILL be different! But the distribution IS symmetric about its mean.


What musical object is often used to describe the curve normal distribution produces?

A bell curve describes the graphed curve that normal distribution produces for a set of data. The curve slopes upward before returning downward after the point of the mean.


Is it true that the curve for the normal distribution is symmetrical in respect to the mean?

yes it is true


Normal distribution is symmetric with single peak.Does this mean that all distibutions are normal?

No, not all distributions are symmetrical, and not all distributions have a single peak.


How does the standard normal distribution differ from the t-distribution?

The normal distribution and the t-distribution are both symmetric bell-shaped continuous probability distribution functions. The t-distribution has heavier tails: the probability of observations further from the mean is greater than for the normal distribution. There are other differences in terms of when it is appropriate to use them. Finally, the standard normal distribution is a special case of a normal distribution such that the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1.
