SOLUTION: 3. Suppose many samples of size 49 are selected from a population with mu = 250 and sigma = 25. a. What value would you expect for the mean of your samples, (mu sub x-bar) ?

Question 318401: 3. Suppose many samples of size 49 are selected from a population with mu = 250 and sigma = 25.
a. What value would you expect for the mean of your samples, (mu sub x-bar) ?
b. What value would you expect for the standard deviation of the samples, (sigma sub x-bar)?
c. What distribution shape would you expect for the x-bars?

Suppose many samples of size 49 are selected from a population with mu = 250 and sigma = 25.
a. What value would you expect for the mean of your samples, (mu sub x-bar) ?
From the Central Limit Theorem: u(x-bar) = 250
---------------------------------------------------------
b. What value would you expect for the standard deviation of the samples, (sigma sub x-bar)?
From the Central Limit Theorem: s(x-bar) = 25/sqrt(49) = 25/7
---------------------------------------------------------
c. What distribution shape would you expect for the x-bars?
From the Central Limit Theorem: normal
