1Suppose x has a normal distribution with mean ? = 59 and standard deviation ? = 14.

a.Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 4. (Round ?x to two decimal places.)

?x =           
?x


b.Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 16. (Round ?x to two decimal places.)

?x =           
?x


c.Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 100. (Round ?x to two decimal places.)

?x =          
?x


d.How do the x distributions compare for the various samples sizes?

-The means and standard deviations are the same regardless of sample size.

-The standard deviations are the same, but the means are increasing with increasing sample size.  

 -The means are the same, but the standard deviations are decreasing with increasing sample size.
-The standard deviations are the same, but the means are decreasing with increasing sample size.
-The means are the same, but the standard deviations are increasing with increasing sample size.
