I already answer A-C so just answer D,E,F 

A random sample is selected from a population with mean μ = 160 and standard deviation = 13. Determine the mean
and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x for each of the following sample sizes.
(a) n = 4
(b) n = 14
(c) n = 64
(d) n = 125
(e) n = 169
(f)
Step 1
n = 500
(a) n = 4
We are given that a random sample is selected from a population with mean μ = 160 and standard deviation = 13. We
are asked to determine the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean, X, for the
sample size n = 4.
Recall the general properties of the sampling distribution x. The mean is μ = μ, and the standard deviation is o-=-
√n
We can use these formulas to make the desired calculations, rounding a result to three decimal places if it is not exact.
μ= = μ
160
= 6.5
