Answer 1

The correct response that lists the criteria for using a normal curve as a model for a distribution is:

The distribution is bell-shaped, the mean and the standard deviation are approximately equal and in the center of the data, and the data values follow the Empirical Rule.

This response includes the appropriate characteristics of a normal distribution, specifically its bell shape, the meanings of the mean and standard deviation in the context of the data, and the Empirical Rule that describes the distribution of data within standard deviations in a normal distribution.
