Correct option is A
The general normal distribution ranges theoretically from negative to positive infinity, with mean μ and variance σ². (Options C and D describe the standard normal distribution's z-score properties, not the general normal curve's range/mean/variance.)
Information Booster:
1. The normal curve is asymptotic — it never actually touches the x-axis.
2. The standard normal distribution has mean 0 and standard deviation 1 (a special case).
3. About 99.7% of data lies within ±3 SD of the mean (empirical rule).
4. Skewness = 0 and kurtosis = 3 (mesokurtic) for a perfect normal distribution.
