Answer:

a)  X that is a distribution of number of years of education for​ self-employed individuals.

b) Mean = 15.1, Standard Deviation = 0.8

c) Mean = 15.1, Standard Deviation = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The population distribution of number of years of education for​ self-employed individuals in a certain region has a mean of 15.1 and a standard deviation of 4.8

a) The random variable is X that is a distribution of number of years of education for​ self-employed individuals.

b) According to central limit theorem, as the sample size increases the distribution of means approaches a normal distribution.

Thus, \bar{x} has a normal distribution with

\text{Mean} = 15.1\\\text{Srtandard Deviation} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{36}} = \frac{4.8}{\sqrt{36}} = 0.8

c) n = 144

\bar{x} has a normal distribution with

\text{Mean} = 15.1\\\text{Srtandard Deviation} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{4.8}{\sqrt{144}} = 0.4

By increasing n, the standard deviation for distribution of mean reduced  by one half. Therefore, we see that quadrupling the sample size will reduce the standard deviation by one half.
