The mean of a normal distribution curve defines the location of the peak. On a graph, increasing the mean shifts the entire curve to the right on th x-axis, while decreasing the mean shifts the entire curve to the left.

Waterview has a mean of 13 rainy days while

Riverton has a mean of 11 rainy days

Since Waterview has a bigger mean than Riverton, then

Waterviews graph will have a peak farther to the right

The standard deviation of a normal distribution determines the width or spread of a bell curve. The larger the standard deviation, the wider the graph.

Waterview has a standard deviation of 2days and

Riverton has a standard deviation of 3days

Since Waterview has a smaller standard deviation than Riverton, then

Waterviews graph will have a peak that is narrower
