Match the following terms with their correct definition. 1. inequality
the value of a base and exponent; also the exponent itself
2. opposite numbers
a property of the real numbers that states that how numbers are grouped in a sum or product does not change the value
3. associative property
a(b + c) = ab + ac, or a(b - c) = ab - ac
4. undefined
two numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line but in opposite directions
5. power
statement showing a relationship between numbers that are not necessarily equal; uses the symbols >, <, ≥, ≤, or ≠
6. irrational number
the quotient of any number and zero
7. distributive property
a number that, when in decimal form, does not terminate or repeat

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
