Answer

Mean and Median

In a normal distribution, neither the mean or the median is greater. They are equal.

The Normal distribution has the property that the mean lies exactly at the middle of the peak of the distribution.

Similarly, the median also corresponds to the middle of a distribution and thus the median ought to lie at the middle of the peak of the distribution implying that the two are equal.
