Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Exchange rate helps to determine the value of money in the foreign currency. If the exchange rate changes from 1.8 to 1.5 francs per dollar it means that the franc per dollar appreciates, and the dollar depreciates. Now, more dollars can be bought by trading Swiss franc compared to the previous rate. A decrease in exchange rate decreases the value of the dollar compared to the Swiss franc.
