Question

A synthetic fiber used in manufacturing carpet has tensile strength that is normally distributed with mean 75.5 psi and standard deviation 3.5 psi. How is the standard deviation of the sample mean changed when the sample size is increased from?

Answer 1

Answer:

The standard deviation reduces when sample size (n) increases

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above information given, we have that mean = 75.5

Standard deviation = 3.5

But Standard deviation = √summation (x-u)/n

This simply implies that when sample (n) is increased there would be a reduction in the standard deviate.
