Suppose x has a distribution with ? = 12 and ? = 5.

 
(a) If a random sample of size n = 39 is drawn, find ?x, ? x and P(12 ≤ x ≤ 14). (Round ?x to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.)
?x = 
? x = 
P(12 ≤ x ≤ 14) = 

(b) If a random sample of size n = 58 is drawn, find ?x, ? x and P(12 ≤ x ≤ 14). (Round ? x to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.)
?x = 
? x = 
P(12 ≤ x ≤ 14) = 

(c) Why should you expect the probability of part (b) to be higher than that of part (a)? (Hint: Consider the standard deviations in parts (a) and (b).)
The standard deviation of part (b) is _____     part (a) because of the _____ sample size. Therefore, the distribution about ?x is   ______   .
