Question 1172473: Random samples of three are drawn from a population of beetles whose lengths have a normal distribution with mean 2.4 cm and standard deviation 0.36 cm.the mean length is calculated for each sample.
A-State the distribution of X^- giving the value of its parameters.
B-find p(X^- >2.5)
State which of the numerical value above if any depend on the central limit theorem.

sample distribution N~(2.4, 0.0432) or mean 2.4 and sd 0.21; the variance is sigma^2/n
probability X^> 2.5 is z > (2.5-2.4)/0.21 or
z > 0.476
which is probability 0.3170. This comes from the table or from the calculator 2ndVARS2normalcdf(0.476,6) or any number greater than 6.

So long as the population itself is normal, the sampling distribution of samples with size 3 will also have a normal distribution with the above parameters.
