Where
So:
By comparing the calculated expression with
Option (b) is correct
Answer:
a) 151lb.
b) 6.25 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
In this problem, we have that:
So
a) The expected value of the sample mean of the weights is 151 lb.
(b) What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight?
This is
