As a result of the purchase, the company will see an increase in income of $100,000 the first year and 5% more each subsequent year. The company uses straight-line depreciation.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The statement that the 'means and median are not equal' is incorrect for a standard normal distribution. In a standard normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all equal, as the distribution is perfectly symmetrical. The correct characteristics of a standard normal distribution are that approximately 68% of the values fall within one standard deviation of the mean, the total area under the curve is 1, and the curve shape is symmetrical.
