Question

I don't understand how to answer this: relate the three measures of central tendency to a normal distribution- I looked it up online and it said that the mean, median, and mode are all the same but i don't understand how that can be

Answer 1

In a normal distribution, the mean (the sum of the raw scores divided by the number of scores), the median (50th percentile) and the mode (most frequently occurring score) all have the same <I>value</I>. Although they are calculated in different ways, their values coincide in a normal distribution.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
