Identify the correct statements regarding the categories of kurtosis in data distributions: 1. Leptokurtic distributions are characterized by a sharp peak and heavy tails relative to a normal distribution. 2. Platykurtic distributions have flatter curves with lighter tails compared to a normal distribution. 3. A mesokurtic distribution has a Pearson kurtosis value equal to 3. 4. Leptokurtic distributions show a high concentration of scores around the center/mean. 5. Platykurtic curves always have high standard deviations solely due to their wide spread.
