To determine

To find: the correct option of the following statement which is true.

Answer to Problem T2.6SPT

The area between A and G is equal to 1.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

1. It is false, because the mean of the distribution requires being the left of the highest peak and it would expect the mean to be at C or D.
2. It is false, because it does not have information about B nor F and therefore it is quite possible that the area between B and F is 0.6.

4. It is false, because it has no information about D and therefore that D is not the 3^rd quartile.
5. It is true, because the area underneath is density curve is every time equal to one and the area between A and G associates with all the area underneath the density curve.

Hence, the correct option is (e)
