HOMEWORK: SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS

Problem 1 Consider the relation between standard deviation of the sample and standard deviation of the population x = n Be sure you understand the meaning of each variable. Identify the given variables: mean standard deviation of the population size of the sample With the given values you can compute the standard deviation of the mean.

Problem Consider the definition of z Z=

Consider the relation between standard deviation of the sample and standard deviation of the population x = n Indentify the given variables need to convert from the population standard deviation to standard deviation of the mean. We consider the mean sample to be e!ual to the mean of the origin population. "ind Z #for the given $% "ind area under the curve Compute the final answer. &eep in mind that you need the li'elihood for or more than ( $) hours.
