Question 1059211: If a population is known to be normally distributed with
muμequals=78
and
sigmaσequals=16,
what will be the characteristics of the sampling distribution for
x overbarx
based on a random sample of size
16
selected from the population?

I am assuming the question is asking what is the mean of a sampling distribution of size 16 taken from N~(78,16)
The sampling distribution will have the same mean, and the sd will be the sqrt of the sample size.
It will be normally distributed with mean 78 and sd 4.
