उत्तर
Chief Characteristics or Properties of Normal Probability distribution and Normal probability Curve.
The normal probability curve with mean µ and standard deviation σ has the following properties:
(i) The curve is bell-shaped and symmetrical about the line x = u.
(ii) Mean, median and mode of the distribution coincide.
(iii) X-axis is an asymptote to the curve, (tails of the curve never touches the horizontal (x) axis)
(iv) No portion of the curve lies below the x-axis as f(x) being the probability function can never be negative.
(v) The points of inflexion of the curve are x = µ ± σ
