the mean equals the median.

Sterling Russo · Answer 2

Option C. mean ≈ median

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution curve is given as a normal "bell-shaped"curve. In this way, it means that there is a symmetry to the curve. Thus, the left and right side of the curve are equally distributed.

Hence, the equal distribution means equal mean and equal median. Thus, the mean ≈ median.

Hence, option B is correct.
