Question 127322:  Suppose that X has a distribution with m=72 and s=8 (greek symbols)
 
if random samples of size n=16 are selected, can we say anything about the x distribution of sample means?
 
if the original x distrubution is normal can we say anything about the x distribution of random samples of size 16? Find P(68

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose that X has a distribution with m=72 and s=8 (greek symbols)
 
if random samples of size n=16 are selected, can we say anything about the x distribution of sample means? 
--------------------------------- 
According to the Central Limit Theorem the mean of the sample means equals 
the population mean which is 72, and the standard deviation of the sample 
means is 8/sqrt4) = 2 . 
=================================
 
if the original x distrubution is normal can we say anything about the x distribution of random samples of size 16? 
The sample means are normally distributed. 
--------------------- 
Find P(68
Question: Does "x" refer to population data or sample means? 
In either case, find the z-values for 68 and 73; then find 
The probability z lies between those two z-values. 
==========================
