Historically, the SAT score of a randomly selected student has an unknown distribution with a mean of 1510
points and a standard deviation of 345.1 points. Let X be the SAT score of a randomly selected student and
let X be the average SAT score of a random sample of size 44.
1. Describe the probability distribution of X and state its parameters μ and o:
