Answer:

A. The sample has more than 30 grade-point averages.

B. If the population of grade-point averages has a normal distribution

Explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem, if the sample size is big enough(>30) and the population distribution is normal (population of grade point averages) then that sample mean be treated as a value from a population.

Population of statistics students is out of concern in this context since grade-point averages are sampled.
