Assume that the SD of monthly rent paid by student in a
particular town is $40.
A random sample of 100 students was taken to estimate
the mean monthly rent paid by the whole student population.
-----------------------
a) What is the standard error of sample mean rent?
Ans: 40/sqrt(100) = 40/10 = 4
----------------------------------------
b) What is the probability that the sample mean exceeds the population mean by more than %5.
The mean of the sample means and the mean of the population
are the same according to the Central Limit Theorem.
----
45% of the sample means are to the right of a point that is
is 5% to the right of the mean.
------------------
Ans: 45%
