All of the following are characteristics of the normal distribution, except: Select one: a. Probability that x is equal to any specific value is zero b. Total area under the curve is always one c. Bell-shaped curve d. It is a discrete distribution e. Symmetric about the mean

Step 1
Probability that x is equal to any specific value is zero - This is true for a normal distribution. Because it is a continuous distribution, the probability of any specific value is technically zero. b. Total area under the curve is always one - This is also Show more…

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the normal probability distribution? a. The graph of the curve is the shape of a rectangle b. The total area under the curve is always equal to 100%. c. 99.72% of the time the random variable assumes a value within plus or minus three standard deviations of its mean d. The mean is equal to the median, which is also equal to the mode.
