SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE SAMPLE MEAN

Practice Exercises:
A. Random samples of size 225 are drawn from a population with mean 100 and standard deviation 20. 1. Find the
mean of sampling distribution of the means?
2. Find the standard deviation of sampling distribution of the means?

B. The heights of male college students are normally distributed with mean of 68 inches and standard deviation of 3
inches. A random samples of 25 students are drawn with replacement from the population, what would be the
(a.) mean, (b) variance and (c) standard deviation of the resulting sampling distribution of the means?

Evaluation:
1. A population has mean 75 and standard deviation 12.
a. Random samples of size 121 are taken. Find the mean and standard deviation of sampling distribution
of the means?
b. How would the answers to part (a) change if the size of the samples were 400 instead of 121?
2. The scores of individual students on a national test have a normal distribution with mean 18.6 and standard
deviation 5.9. At Federico Ramos Rural High School, 76 students took the test. If the scores at this school have
the same distribution as national scores, what are the (a) mean and (b) standard deviation of the sample mean
for 76 students?
