The normal continuous probability distribution is characterized by two parameters,________.
A) the mean,μ,and the median
B) the median and the standard deviation,σ
C) the mean,μ,and the variance,σ2
D) the mode and the range
Continuous Probability Distribution
A function that describes the probability of a continuous random variable falling within a certain range of values.
Variance
A measure of variability that denotes the average of the squared differences from the mean, used in statistics to indicate how data points in a set are spread out.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The normal continuous probability distribution is characterized by two parameters: the mean, μ, and the variance, σ² (not σ as stated in option B). Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it includes the correct parameters. Option A is incorrect because the median is not always equal to the mean in a normal distribution. Option B is incorrect because it includes the wrong parameter (standard deviation instead of variance). Option D is incorrect because the mode and the range are not parameters of the normal distribution.
