Shoppers at a mall have a mean weight of 70 kg with a standard deviation of 10 kg. An elevator at the mall holds a maximum of 6 people, and safety engineers are curious about the average weight of shoppers on a full elevator. Suppose that we take random samples of 6 shoppers and calculate the mean weight of the shoppers in each sample. Calculate the mean of the sampling distribution of x-bar.
