Question 1180792: IF THE VARIANCE OF THE POPULATION IS 9, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE VARIANCE OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEANS OF SIZE 6 DRAWN FROM THE POPULATION? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The variance varies as the inverse of n
so the variance of the the sampling distribution of size 6 is sigma^2/6 or here 9/6 or 1.5
The SD of the first is 3
The SD of the second is 3/sqrt(6)=(1/2)*sqrt(6)=1.225, which is the sqrt of the above 1.5
