Example1:
A random sample of n = 49 measurements is obtained from a population with = 192 and = 43.
Describe the sampling distribution of means by computing the (a) mean of the sampling distribution of
means, and the (b) standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means .
SOLUTION: The given are the sample size=49, population mean = 192, and population standard
deviation a = 43.
a. Solve for the mean of sampling distribution of means.
#₂ = μ since the population mean is 192, therefore the mean of sampling distribution of means is also 192.
H₂= 192
b. Solve for the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means.

In each case, find the mean and the variance of the sampling distribution of the means.
a. n36; 44; ²5.76
b. n = 45; μ = 40; a² = 5.76
Solutions: a. The mean of sampling distribution of means is also 44 since the population mean is 44 (= 44).
To find the variance of the sampling distribution of the means, we use o
