The median of the normal distribution with mean and variance \(\mu\) and \(\sigma^2\) is:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2024 (Tier-I) Previous Year Paper (17-Sep-2024) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

\(\mu\)

For a normal distribution, the median equals the mean \(\mu\) due to symmetry. The median is the central value where 50% of the data lies on either side, coinciding with \(\mu\) in symmetric distributions like the normal curve.
