Draw two normal curves that have the same mean but different standard deviations. Describe the similarities and differences. Compare the two curves. The two curves will have of symmetry. The curve with the larger standard deviation will be spread out than the curve with the smaller standard deviation.

Draw two normal curves that have the same mean but different standard deviations. Describe the similarities and differences.
Consider the following two normal curves: Which has the larger mean and which has the larger standard deviation? (A) Curve " $a$ " has the larger mean and the larger standard deviation. (B) Curve " $a$ " has the larger mean, and curve " $b$ " has the larger standard deviation. (C) Curve "b" has the larger mean, and curve " $a$ " has the larger standard deviation. (D) Curve " $b^{\prime \prime}$ has the larger mean and the larger standard deviation. (E) Curve "b" has the larger mean, and curves " $a$ " and "b" have the same standard deviation.
