Select the corect chóice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
O A. The graph could not represent a variable with a normal distribution because the curve crosses the x-axis.
O B. The graph could represent a variable with a normal distribution because the curve is symmetric and bell-shaped. Its mean is approximately and its standard deviation is approximately
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
O C. The graph could not represent a variable with a normal distribution because the graph is skewed to the right.
O D. The graph could not represent a variable with a normal distribution because the curve is constant.
O E. The graph could not represent a variable with a normal distribution because the graph is skewed to the left.
O F. The graph could not represent a variable with a normal distribution because the curve has two modes.
