In a normal distribution, which statement best describes the relationship between mean, median, and mode? The mean will always be the smallest value, while the mode and median will be the same. The mean, median, and mode always are equal to one another and lie in the center of the distribution. The mean and median will fall in the center of the distribution and the mode will be larger than both. The mode will be in the center of the distribution and the mean and median may be higher or lower.
