The area under a normal curve ...

• is always negative

• is equal to 1

• varies depending on the data

• goes on for infinity

The normal curve is symmetrical about the mean.

• True

• False

The equation of the line of symmetry for the normal curve is:

• x = 177

• x = 0

• x = 4

• x = ∞

The graph shows the scores of a standardized test, normally distributed, for two classes.
