Question

If the average American sleeps 8 hours a night, with a standard deviation of 1 hour, and I plan on gathering a sample of 12 college students to compare to this population, find the following:

mu =
sigma =
mu_x bar =
sigma_x bar =

Answer 1

8 hours

1 hour

8 hours

0.288675

Explanation:

We complete the answer as follows;

mu = mean = 8 hours

sigma = standard deviation= 1 hour

Mu_x bar = mu = 8 hours

sigma_x bar = sigma/√(n) = 1/√(12) = 0.288675
