The incomes of the employees in a state is assumed to be normally distributed with mean Rs.15,000 and variance Rs. 900. The median of the distribution of the income is:
Rs.15,000
The normal distribution is perfectly symmetric about its mean, so mean = median = mode. The median therefore equals the given mean.
Mean = Rs. 15,000, hence Median = Rs. 15,000. The variance (900) controls spread but does not shift the centre.
