What distribution is described as symmetrical with a 50% chance of falling below or above the mean?

Uniform distribution
Beta distribution
Triangular distribution
Normal distribution

The correct answer is: Normal distribution

The correct answer is D. Normal distribution is described as symmetrical with a 50% chance of falling below or above the mean. In a normal distribution, the data is evenly distributed around the mean, resulting in a bell-shaped curve. This means that 50% of the data points fall below the mean, and 50% fall above the mean. Option A, Uniform distribution, does not exhibit symmetry in the way that a normal distribution does. In a uniform distribution, all outcomes are equally likely, resulting in a constant probability across the range of possible values. Options B and C, Beta distribution and Triangular distribution, do not have the characteristic of being symmetrical with a 50% chance of falling below or above the mean, making them incorrect choices for this question.
