Answer:

Explanation:

The distribution of the mean of random samples of size 4 can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 154 Ibs (same as the population means) and a standard deviation of 11.5 Ibs (which is the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, i.e. 23 Ibs/ sqrt (4)= 11.5 Ibs). This is known as the Central Limit Theorem.
