Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello there! there are more than three subparts in the question. According to our policies we cannot answer more than three sub parts in one question. So please find the solution for a,b,c parts of the question. If you have doubts in remaining part of the question kindly make a new request, mentioning the part in which you need help.

 

Given data

H0:µ = 49

H1:µ ≠ 49

a)

Points on sampling distribution of the sample mean:

  • If the true population distribution of a random variable, say, x, is normal with parameters, mean μ and standard deviation σ, then, whatever be the size (n) of the sample taken from the population, the distribution of the sample mean is also normal, with parameters, mean μ and standard deviation σ/√n.
  • Even if the true population distribution of a random variable, say, x, is not normal and has population mean μ, standard deviation σ, then, for a large size (n ≥ 30) of a sample taken from the population, the distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal, with parameters, mean μ and standard deviation σ/√n (by Central Limit Theorem).
  • If the true population distribution of a random variable, say, x, is not normal and has population mean μ, standard deviation σ, then, for a small size (< 30) of a sample taken from the population, the distribution of the sample mean cannot be said to be approximately normal.

So, from the above, option B is correct.

No – Since the sample size is at least 30, the underlying population does not need to be normally distributed.
