Final answer:

The distribution with a smaller standard deviation is likely to have the smallest mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution that is likely to have the smallest mean is the one with a smaller standard deviation. In this case, we are given that the distribution for X is normal with the same mean but a smaller standard deviation than the distribution for X.
