Transcribed Image Text:A simple random sample of size n = 76 is obtained from a population with μ = 60 and o=2. Does the population need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x to b
approximately normally distributed? Why? What is the sampling distribution of X?
C
Does the population need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x to be approximately normally distributed? Why?
O A. Yes because the Central Limit Theorem states that only for underlying populations that are normal is the shape of the sampling distribution of x normal, regardless of the
sample size, n.
O B. No because the Central Limit Theorem states that regardless of the shape of the underlying population, the sampling distribution of x becomes approximately normal as
the sample size, n, increases.
O C.
No because the Central Limit Theorem states that only if the shape of the underlying population is normal or uniform does the sampling distribution of x become
approximately normal as the sample size, n, increases.
O D. Yes because the Central Limit Theorem states that the sampling variability of nonnormal populations will increase as the sample size increases.

The index i in the first column is just an integer name for each observation. The specific values x in the second column are measures of a random variable X distributed in the population. Now suppose this random variable X is known to have a Normal distribution in the sampled population. You still do not know the population mean and must estimate it from the sample, as you did earlier. BUT NOW, in this question, you know in advance that the true population standard deviation of the random variable X is 4.
