Question

The heights of fully grown trees of a specific species are normally distributed, with a mean of 51.5 feet and a standard deviation of 5.00 feet. Random samples of size 11 are drawn from the population. Use the central limit theorem to find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.

The mean of the sampling distribution is

μx=____.

The standard error of the sampling distribution is

σx=____.

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
