The internal auditing staff of a local manufacturing company performs a sample audit each quarter to estimate the proportion of accounts that are delinquent more than 90 days overdue. The historical records of the company show that over the past 8 years 14 percent of the accounts are delinquent. For this quarter, the auditing staff randomly selected 250 customer accounts. What are the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distributionof p^?

The selling price of new homes in a city over a year was normally distributed with a mean of $115,000 and a standard deviation of $25,000. A random sample of 16 new home sales from this city was taken. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean (indicate center, spread, shape). mean = $115,000, standard deviation = $6,250, and shape = exactly normal mean = $115,000, standard deviation = $2,500, and shape = exactly normal mean = $115,000, standard deviation = $25,000, and shape = exactly normal mean = $115,000, standard deviation = $6,250, and shape = unknown mean = $115,000, standard deviation = $2,500, and shape = approximately normal by the Central Limit Theorem BO MA W P DO
