Question
In a study of life expectancy in a certain region, the mean age at death
was 70 years, and the standard deviation was 5 years. The life expectancy
(years) is assumed to follow a skewed distribution. Suppose that a random
sample of 45 people from this region is selected.
The mean life expectancy (years) of the sample is considered a random
variable. What is its standard error?
0.5976
O 2.2361
O 5.2341
O 0.1111
