a. For random samples of size n = 10, calculate the area under the sampling distribution curve for between the values μ-1 and μ + 1. That is, find the probability that the sample mean lies within ±1 unit of the population mean. b. Repeat the probability calculation in part (a) for samples of size n = 50, n = 100, and n = 1000. c. Graph the probabilities you found in parts (a) and (b) versus their corresponding sample sizes, n. What can you conclude from this graph?

Question

 Random samples of size n are taken from a normal population whose standard deviation is known to be 5.  Answer the following attached parts of this question:

a. For random samples of size n = 10, calculate the
area under the sampling distribution curve for
between the values μ-1 and μ + 1. That is,
find the probability that the sample mean lies
within ±1 unit of the population mean.
b. Repeat the probability calculation in part (a) for
samples of size n = 50, n = 100, and n = 1000.
c. Graph the probabilities you found in parts (a)
and (b) versus their corresponding sample sizes,
n. What can you conclude from this graph?
