Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree
Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that X has a normal probability distribution with =38 ft and =89.6 ft.
You intend to measure a random sample of n=150 trees.
What is the mean of the distribution of sample means?
x¯=
What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means (i.e., the standard error in estimating the mean)?
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
x¯=
Answer: 38
Answer: 7.3158 please tell me how to get x¯= ?
Solution
Sample Mean = x¯= = 38 [ Sample has a similar mean to population ]
x¯= = / Sqrt(150) = 89.6 / Sqrt(150) = 7.3158 [ Sample s.d = Population s.d / Sqrt(n) ]
