The Normal Random Variable's Density Function Is Perfectly Symmetric About

question 188

True/False

The normal random variable's density function is perfectly symmetric about a peaked central value and, thus bell shaped; and characterized by tails extending indefinitely in both directions from the centre, approaching (but never touching) the horizontal axis. All of this implies a positive probability for finding values of the random variable anywhere between minus infinity and plus infinity.
