Suppose x has a distribution with ? = 17 and ? = 16.

(a) If a random sample of size n = 43 is drawn, find ?x, ? x and P(17 ≤ x ≤ 19). (Round ?x to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.)
?x = 
? x = 
P(17 ≤ x ≤ 19) = 

(b) If a random sample of size n = 73 is drawn, find ?x, ? x and P(17 ≤ x ≤ 19). (Round ? x to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.)
?x = 
? x = 
P(17 ≤ x ≤ 19) = 

(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      .
