Part B: True or False (11-20)

11. A normal distribution is a distribution of discrete data that produces a bell-shaped.

12. The mean of the discrete probability distribution for a discrete random variable is called its expected value.

13. A random variable is a variable that can take different values according to the outcome of an experiment, and it can be either discrete or continuous.
