Exploring Density Curves and Normal Distributions

What is the main property of a density curve?

• It can have negative values.

• It always has an area of 0.5.

• It is always symmetric.

• It always has an area of 1.

How do you calculate the area of a uniform density curve?

• Base - Height

• Base * Height

• Base / Height

• Base + Height

What shape does a normal distribution have?

• Skewed

• Rectangular

• Bell-shaped

In a normal distribution, what is the relationship between the mean, median, and mode?

• Mode is always greater than mean

• All three are the same

• Median is always less than mode
