Question

Which of the following is NOT a general characteristic of a EVERY normal distribution?

The total area under the curve is exactly 1.

The distribution is continuous.

The distribution is completely defined by its mean and standard deviation.

The mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.

The distribution is symmetric around its mean.

The total area under the curve is exactly 1.

The distribution is continuous.

The distribution is completely defined by its mean and standard deviation.

The mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.

The distribution is symmetric around its mean.

Explanation / Answer

The mean=0 and standard deviation =1 is not general characteristic of every normal distribution, it is characteristic of standard normal distribution.
