Theteacher plans to select a random sample of 6 students to survey about how toincrease student performance on the next vocabulary test.a. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of X, the= 6.sample mean number of points scored by students for samples of size n =b. Interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution calculated in part (a).c. The teacher believes that if a student scored less than 30 points, the student willhave a different opinion than if a student scored more than 30 points. Calculate theprobability that in a random sample of 6 students, the sample average would be lessthan 30 points.
