(Practice with joint, marginal and conditional densities) This is a toy problem designed to give you practice in working with a number of the concepts we've examined; in a course like this, every now and then you have to stop looking at real-world problems and just work on technique (it's similar to classical musicians needing to practice scales in addition to actual pieces of symphonic or chamber music) Suppose that the continuous random vector X - (Xi, X2) has PDF given by 412 for 0

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
