In this paper, we study some basic analytic properties of a sequence of functions $\{S^{\mu,σ}_n\}$ that is directly derived in an adaptive algorithm originating from the classical score-based secretary problem. More specifically, we show that: 1. the uniqueness of maximum points of the function sequence $\{S^{\mu,σ}_n\};$ 2. the maximum point sequence of $\{S^{\mu,σ}_n\}$ monotone increases to infinity as $n$ tends to infinity. All of the proofs are elementary but nontrivial.
