Instructions: Write True if the statement is true/accurate and False if wrong.

True or False

TRUE. 11.) The mean, median, and mode are always equal in a normal distribution.

FALSE. 12.) In a normal distribution, a data point is deemed an outlier if it is


three standard deviations above the mean.

TRUE. 13.) In a normal distribution, the Z-score indicates the number of standard
deviations that a data point deviates from the mean.

FALSE. 14.) The horizontal axis is touched by the normal distribution curve's tails.
Explanation why false
(False) because (the tails never contact the axis, yet they extend indefinitely).

FALSE. The mean of a normal distribution is always zero.


Explanation why false
(False) because (depending on the data set, the mean may change.
