Question

A population of values has a distribution with μ=127.7μ=127.7 and σ=10σ=10. You intend to draw a random sample of size n=103n=103.

According to the Central Limit Theorem:

(a) What is the mean of the distribution of sample means?
μ¯x=μx¯= 

(b) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means?
(Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.)
σ¯x=σx¯= 

(c) In a random sample of n=103, what is the probability that its sample mean is more than 128.7? Round to three decimal places.



(d) In a random sample of n=103, what is the probability that its sample mean is less than 128.5? Give your answer to three decimal places.
