Most households have 0, 1, or 2 children, although some have 3, 4, 5, or even more than 5 children. The mean number of children per household is μ = 2.75 children with standard deviation o = 1.22 children. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of x for SRSS of size n = 50 from the population of households. Because n = 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be approximately normal. Because n = 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be skewed to the right, but not as strongly as the population. 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be skewed to the right just as strongly as the population. Because n = Because n = 50 > 30, we do not have enough information to draw a conclusion about the shape of the sampling distribution of x. Because n = 50 > 30, the sampling distribution of x will be skewed to the right even more strongly than the population.arrow_forward
