Question

Employees at a hospital take the temperature of every one of its more than 1,000 patients who visit the emergency room. The body temperatures of these patients follow a normal distribution similar to this:
Suppose that the hospital takes a random sample of 16 patients and calculates the sample mean temperature for those patients.

What will be the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately Normal

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're given a normally distributed population, the sampling distribution of the sample means will also be normally distributed, even when the sample size is small.
