The correct response is: When graphed, the data creates a bell curve.
A normal distribution is characterized by a symmetrical bell-shaped curve when the data is graphed. The conclusion of normality is often based on the shape of the distribution, which indicates that most of the data points are concentrated around the mean, with frequencies tapering off symmetrically towards the tails.
