Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A normal distribution is characterized by a symmetrical bell shape, with the majority of measurements concentrated around the mean and tapering off towards the tails. This distribution is also known as a Gaussian distribution or a bell curve. The other options, positively skewed and negatively skewed distributions, are asymmetrical and have their tails extending to one side or the other. The term "standard" does not describe a type of frequency distribution.
