Suppose a random variable x is normally distributed with 24
Suppose a random variable x is normally distributed with =24 and =4.9. According to the Central Limit Theorem, for samples of size 8:
a) The mean of the sampling distribution for x¯ is
b)The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for x¯ is
Solution
a) The mean of the sampling distribution for x¯ is
The same as the population mean = 24 [ANSWER]
***************************
b)The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for x¯ is
s(X) = s/sqrt(n)
= 4.9/sqrt(8)
= 1.732411614 [ANSWER]
