Question

The weights of people in a certain population are normally distributed with a mean of 154 lb and a standard deviation of 23 lb. Determine the sampling distribution of the mean for samples of size 4.
A) Approximately normal, mean = 154 lb, standard deviation = 11.5 lb
B) Exactly Normal, mean = 154 lb, standard deviation = 23 lb

C) Approximately normal, mean = 154 lb, standard deviation = 5.75 lb

D) Exactly Normal, mean = 154 lb, standard deviation = 11.5 lb

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
