a. A normal distribution is any distribution that is not unusual.

FALSE The normal distribution is a particular continuous probability distribution which is mound-shaped, where the values tend to cluster around the mean, but it is not the opposite of "unusual."

TRUE

c. If a population has a normal distribution, the mean and the median are not equal.

FALSE In a normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all equal.

d. The graph of a normal distribution is symmetric.

TRUE It is symmetric with respect to the mean.
