The normal continuous probability distribution is characterized by two parameters,________. A)the mean,μ,and the median B)the median and the standard deviation,σ C)the mean,μ,and the variance,σ² D)the mode and the range

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal continuous probability distribution is characterized by two parameters: the mean, μ, and the variance, σ² (not σ as stated in option B). Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it includes the correct parameters. Option A is incorrect because the median is not always equal to the mean in a normal distribution. Option B is incorrect because it includes the wrong parameter (standard deviation instead of variance). Option D is incorrect because the mode and the range are not parameters of the normal distribution.
