Question

Suppose that the distance to a certain store (i.e., X) from your home follow a NORMAL probability distribution.

A.
X is an integer number and can be considered as a discrete random variable.

B.
X is a real number and should be considered as a continuous random variable.

C.
The standard deviation of X can be assumed to be a negative real number.

D.
The standard deviation of X can be assumed to be a negative integer number.

E.
The probability of “X=2 miles” may be equal to 0.1.

F.
None of the above.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
