The shape of normal curve depends upon ?
Correct answer: D. Standard Deviation
- A. None
- B. Mean
- C. Quartile
- D. Standard Deviation
- E. Mean Deviation
Explanation
For a normal distribution, the standard deviation determines the curve's spread and therefore its shape or flatness. The mean changes the location of the curve, while quartiles and mean deviation do not serve as its defining parameters here.
