III. True or False : Tell whether or not the following statements are true or false. Write your answers on the
space provided.
_________________31. The normal distribution characterizes what is typical for a given set of data.
_________________32. All the values for a normal variable are close to the mean.
_________________33. A normal distribution has a mean that is equal to the standard deviation.
_________________34. The normal curve is a bell shaped curve symmetric about the mean.
_________________35. In a normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are the same.
_________________36. The distance between the two inflection points of a normal curve is equivalent to two
standard deviations.
_________________37. A normal curve gradually tapers off to values closer and closer to 0 on both sides.
_________________38. A larger mean value corresponds to a wider normal curve.
