Belinda plans to take a simple random sample of size 64 from a population, and to take the mean x-bar of heights of the people in the sample. Unknown to Belinda, the SD of the population happens to be 16 inches, so the SD of x-bar is

16/sqrt(64)

## [1] 2

Match each chance with its approximate value from the choices in the attached picture

Group of answer choices
 
(1) The chance that x-bar will be 2 or more inches below the mean of the population.
 
        
 
(2)The chance that x-bar will be within 4 inches of the mean of the population.
 
          
 
( 3) The chance that x-bar will be more than 6 inches above the mean of the population.
 
      
 
(4) The chance that x-bar will be within 6 inches of the mean of the population.
 
                
 
(5) The chance that x-bar will be within 4 inches of the mean of the sample.
