Kevin went fishing and is using a scatterplot to analyze the relationship between the weight of each of the fish he caught in pounds and in kilograms. He uses the weight in pounds as the independent variable and the weight in kilograms as the dependent variable. Which statement is correct? The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases. The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms decreases. The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases. The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms decreases.

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
