Example of a Bell Curve: Height of U.S. Women
A bell curve can illustrate the distribution of heights among U.S. women. In a graph representing this, the horizontal axis (x-axis) shows height, while the vertical axis (y-axis) indicates frequency. The curve reaches its highest point at the average height, showing that most women are of average height. The curve then slopes downward on both sides, indicating that progressively fewer women are found at the extremely short or tall ends of the height spectrum.

IQ Scores as an Indicator for Intellectual Disability
A researcher develops a new test to measure 'digital literacy' in a large population. After plotting the results, the graph shows two large groups of scores: one group clustered at the low end and another group clustered at the high end, with very few scores in the middle. Based on the typical pattern of how traits are spread, what is the most accurate analysis of this finding?
