A certain company produces fidget spinners with ball bearings made of either plastic or metal. Under standard testing conditions, fidget spinners from this company with plastic bearings spin for an average of 2.7 minutes, while those from this company with metal bearings spin for an average of 4.2 minutes. A random sample of three fidget spinners with plastic bearings is selected from company stock, and each is spun one time under the same standard conditions; let x¯1x¯1 represent the average spinning time for these three spinners. A random sample of seven fidget spinners with metal bearings is selected from company stock, and each is likewise spun one time under standard conditions; let x¯2x¯2 represent the average spinning time for these seven spinners. What is the mean μ(x¯1−x¯2)μ(x¯1−x¯2) of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means x¯1−x¯2x¯1−x¯2 ? 3(2.7)−7(4.2)=−21.33(2.7)−7(4.2)=−21.3 A 3−7=−43−7=−4 B 2.7−4.2=−1.52.7−4.2=−1.5 C 2.73−4.27=0.32.73−4.27=0.3 D 4.2−2.7=1.54.2−2.7=1.5 E Chose A, B , C, D, or E
