Answer to Question 1

The characteristics of the standardized normal distribution are as follows:
(1) It is symmetrical about its mean.
(2) The mean identifies the normal curve's highest point (the mode) and the vertical line about which this normal curve is symmetrical.
(3) The normal curve has an infinite number of cases (it is a continuous distribution), and the area under the curve has a probability density equal to 1.0.
(4) The standardized normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

The standardized normal distribution is a purely theoretical probability distribution, but it is the most useful distribution in inferential statistics. It is valuable because we can translate, or transform, any normal variable, X, into the standardized value, Z. The standardized normal table in the back of most statistics and marketing research books allows us to evaluate the probability of the occurrence of many events without any difficulty.

Answer to Question 2

False

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
