What is the relationship between the mean and the standard deviation in a normal distribution?
- The mean is always larger than the standard deviation
- The mean is the midpoint of the distribution, and the standard deviation measures the spread
- The standard deviation is always larger than the mean
- There is no relationship between the mean and the standard deviation
In a normal distribution, the mean is the center of the distribution and represents the "average" value. The standard deviation measures the dispersion around the mean. Roughly 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean in a normal distribution.
