A population has a mean mu = 136 and a standard deviation n = 24 Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means with sample n = 59 The mean is mu_{2} = and the standard deviation is sigma overline x = Box Round to three decimal places as needed

Answer:

Given:

The population mean $(μ) =136 $

The population standard deviation, $(σ) = 24$

The sample size $(n) = 59$

solution:

As the sample size is greater than 30, according to the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of the sample mean can be approximated as normal.

The mean and standard deviation for the sampling distribution of sample mean can be obtained as,

The mean,

$$\mu_{\overline{x}} = \mu$$ $$\therefore \mu_{\overline{x}} = 136$$

The standard deviation,

$$\sigma_{\overline{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$$ $$= \frac{24}{\sqrt{59}}$$ $$=3.125$$
