Question

(a) What happens to the graph of the normal curve as the mean increases? (b) What happens to the graph of the normal curve as the standard deviation decreases? (This is a reading assessment question. Be certain of your answer because you only get one attempt on this question.) (a) Choose the correct answer below. The graph of the normal curve slides right. The graph of the normal curve flattens out and becomes wider. The graph of the normal curve compresses and becomes steeper The graph of the normal curve slides left. Nothing happens to the graph of the normal curve.

Explanation / Answer

Answer for part a.) is

With the increase/decrease in mean there is no change in the graph

So,

Option e.

Answer for part b.) is

As the standard deviation decreases, the more compressed the graph becomes.

So,

Option c.
