Answer 1

36 and 1.86 (just fyi answers are in quizlet)

Answer 2

36

1.94

Explanation:

Random samples of size 17 are taken from a population that has 200 elements, a mean of 36, and a standard deviation of 8. the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means are

we know mean is the average. it is the sum of elements in a sample space divided by the number of observation

the mean in this case

xbar=36

the standard deviation

`s.D=(\alpha )/(√(n) )`

8/
`√(17)`

1.94
