The probability distribution function of a normal variate with mean \(\mu\) and variance \(\sigma^2\) is given by :
\(f(x)=\frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)^2},-\infty< x< \infty,-\infty < \mu < \infty, \sigma>0\)
If \(y=f(x)\) be the normal probability curve, then which of the following is correct?
(A) The normal curve is symmetrical about the line \(x=\mu\).
(B) Mean, median and mode of the distribution coincide.
(C) \(Y\)-axis is an asymptote to the normal curve.
(D) If \(x\) increases numerically, \(f(x)\) decreases rapidly.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (B) and (D) only
  3. C (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  4. D (B) and (C) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The normal curve is symmetrical about the line \(x=\mu\). Mean, median and mode of the distribution coincide. If \(x\) increases numerically, \(f(x)\) decreases rapidly. (A), (B) and (D) only
