Expert Solution
Step 1

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.

a.

Central limit theorem:

Based on central limit theorem, if the population is normally distributed then the sampling distribution is also normally distributed regardless of the sample size. If there is no information about the population, for sufficiently large sample size n≥30 sampling distribution of sample mean has the normal distribution.

Let x¯be the average number of Facebook friends users which follows normal distribution. The mean is 111 and standard deviation is 59. That is, μ=111,σ=59.

The mean of the sampling distribution is,

μx¯=μ=111

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is,

σx¯=σn=5914=15.7684

Thus, the distribution of x¯ is x¯~N(111,15.7684).
