Which of the following are true? false? Explain or give examples. $\begin{array}{l}{\text { (a) The median and the average of any list are always close together. }} \\ {\text { (b) Half of a list is always below average. }} \\ {\text { (c) With a large, representative sample, the histogram is bound to follow }} \\ {\text { the normal curve quite closely. }}\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l}{\text { (d) If two lists of numbers have exactly the same average of } 50 \text { and the }} \\ {\text { same SD of } 10 \text { , then the percentage of entries between } 40 \text { and } 60 \text { must }} \\ {\text { be exactly the same for both lists. }}\end{array}$
