The weights of cans of Ocean brand tuna are supposed to have a net weight of 6 ounces. The manufacturer tells you that the net weight is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 5.95 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 42 cans. Part i) Suppose the number of cans drawn is doubled. How will the standard deviation of sample mean weight change? A. It will decrease by a factor of √2. B. It will increase by a factor of √2. C. It will increase by a factor of 2 D. It will decrease by a factor of 2. E. It will remain unchanged. Part i) Suppose the number of cans drawn A. It will increase by a factor of √/2. B. It will decrease by a factor of 2. C. It will increase by a factor of 2. D. It will decrease by a factor of √/2 E. It will remain unchanged. doubled. How will the mean of the sample mean weight change? Part iii) Consider the statement: "The distribution of the mean weight of the sampled cans of Ocean brand tuna is Normal." A. It is a correct statement, but it is not a result of the Central Limit Theorem. B. It is a correct statement, and it is a result of the Central Limit Theorem. C. It is an incorrect statement. The distribution of the mean weight of the sample is not Normal.
