Question 314788: Suppose that the weight of apples eaten by individual Americans can be described by a normal probability distribution with mean μ = 15 pounds and standard deviation σ = 5 pounds per < year.
For a random sample of n = 16 people, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean ̄x?
For a random sample of n = 16 people, what is the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean ̄x?
For a random sample of n = 16 people, what is the z-score for a sample mean ̄x = 10 pounds?
For a random sample of n = 9 people, what is the z-score for a sample mean ̄x = 18 pounds?

Suppose that the weight of apples eaten by individual Americans can be described by a normal probability distribution with mean μ = 15 pounds and standard deviation σ = 5 pounds per < year.
-------------------------------------
For a random sample of n = 16 people, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean ̄x?
Ans: 5/Sqrt(16) = 5/4
----------------------------------------
For a random sample of n = 16 people, what is the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean ̄x?
Ans: x-bar = 15
------------------------------------------
For a random sample of n = 16 people, what is the z-score for a sample mean ̄x = 10 pounds?
z(10) = (10-15)/[5/sqrt(16)] = -5/(5/4) = -4
-------------------------------------------
For a random sample of n = 9 people, what is the z-score for a sample mean ̄x = 18 pounds?
z(18) = (18-15)/[5/sqrt(3)] = 3/(5/sqrt(3)) = 3*sqrt(3)/5 = 1.0392
