Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The measures of central tendency are mode, median (MD), and mean ( ). The mode is the numerical value or score that occurs with the greatest frequency in a data set. It does not necessarily indicate the center of the data set.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, F
The theoretical normal curve is an expression of statistical theory. It is a theoretical frequency distribution of all possible scores. This theoretical normal curve is symmetrical and unimodal and has continuous values. The mean, median, and mode are equal. The distribution is completely defined by the mean and standard deviation. The data are normally distributed. If all data points are identical, their mean, median, and mode will be the same.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
