B. The normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

C. The normal distribution cannot be used to approximate discrete probability distributions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the properties of normal distribution:

A) The given statement is false.

B) The given statement is true.

The normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

C) The given statement is true.

The normal distribution cannot be used to approximate discrete probability distributions because it is a continuous distribution and probability at any discrete value is zero.

D) The given statement is false.

The normal distribution has an area equal to 1.
