Question

Draw two normal curves that have the same mean but different standard deviations. Describe the similarities and differences. Compare the two curves. The two curves will have ▼ the same line different lines of symmetry. The curve with the larger standard deviation will be ▼ more less spread out than the curve with the smaller standard deviation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The same mean  ⇒  the same symmetry axis

Bigger standard deviation major spread

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

The annex shows two different normal curves:

1.-  N (μ₀ ; σ₁ )

2.- N (μ₀ ; σ₂ )

Where   σ₁  > σ₂

They both have the same symmetry  axis ( they have the same mean and both curves have to be symmetrically related to the mean )

Normal distribution curves spread symmetrically at both sides of the mean, but the wider curve is the one that has the bigger standard deviation.  Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of the curve.
