Question

A population of values has a normal distribution with μ= 180.1

and σ=100. You intend to draw a random sample of size n=94

What is the mean of the distribution of sample means?

What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means?
(Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

A sample of size n taken from a normally distributed population with mean µ and standard deviation σ has a sample mean of µ and standard deviation of σ/√n.

So the sample mean would still be 180.1, while the sample standard deviation would be 100/√94 ≈ 10.31.
