Question

Mean, median, and mode are:A)  equal to one another in any Poisson probability distributionB)  equal to one another in any normal probability distributionC)  different measures of center and, therefore, cannot possibly be equal to one anotherD)  different measures of center, but can equal each other only if the probability distribution is negatively or positively skewedE)  equal to one another in any normal probability distribution and different measures of center and, therefore, cannot possibly be equal to one another

Jonathan Harding · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  In any normal probability distribution, mean, median, and mode are all equal to each other. This is because the normal distribution is symmetric around its mean, which makes the median and mode also equal to the mean.
