For a Normal distribution, the curve is
ASkewed right (typical)
BSkewed left (typical)
CSymmetric about the mean
DMulti-modal (typical)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Symmetric about the mean
1. The Normal curve is symmetric about its mean μ.
2. Mean = Median = Mode for the Normal distribution.
3. Skewness = 0; kurtosis = 3.
4. Hence (C) is the property.
