Answer:

a) Check Explanation.

b) True. Check Explanation.

c) True. Check Explanation.

Explanation:

a) A normal distribution is one which is characterized by four major properties.

- A normal distribution is symmetrical about the center of the distribution. That is, the variables spread out from the center in both directions in the same manner; the right side of the distribution is a mirror image of the left side of the distribution.

The center of a normal distribution is located at its peak, and 50% of the data lies above the mean, while 50% lies below.

- The mean, median and the mode are coincidental. The mean, median and mode of a normal distribution are all the same value.

- A normal distribution is unimodal, that is, has only one mode.

- The ends of the probability curve of a normal distribution never touch the x-axis, hence, it is said too be asymptotic.

b) The sampling distribution of sample means arises when random samples are drawn from the population distribution and their respective means are computed and put together to form a distribution. Hence, the curve of this sampling distribition of sample means will show how the sample means are distributed. Hence, this statement is true.

c) The Central Limit Theorem gives that if the samples are drawn randomly from a normal distribution and each sample size is considerable enough, the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means is approximately equal to the population mean. So, if the conditions stated are satisfied, then thos statement too, is true.

Hope this Helps!!!
