Question
The annual per capita consumption of sugar by people in the US is a right skewed distributed with a mean of 200 pounds a standard deviation of 30 pounds. Random
a. Using Central Limit Theorem, what would the mean, standard deviation, and shape of the sampling distribution be?
b. Now assume that random samples of size 100 are drawn instead. What would the mean, standard deviation and shape of the sampling distribution be? Which measures changed and how would they change?
