The mean cost of renting an apartment in a city is $2000 per month with a standard deviation of $300. Let ?̅ denote the mean cost of rent for a random sample of 60 apartments in this city. 5. The mean ?D̅ and the standard deviation ?D̅ of ?̅ are: (a) ?D̅ = 33.33 ?D̅ = 38.73, (b) ?D̅ = 33.33 ?D̅ = 5, (c) ?D̅ = 2000 ?D̅ = 38.73, (d) ?D̅ = 2000 ?D̅ = 5, (e) ?D̅ = 2000 ?D̅ = 300,
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.

5. The mean ?D̅ and the standard deviation ?D̅ of ?̅ are:
(a) ?D̅ = 33.33 ?D̅ = 38.73, (b) ?D̅ = 33.33 ?D̅ = 5, (c) ?D̅ = 2000 ?D̅ = 38.73, (d) ?D̅ = 2000 ?D̅ = 5, (e) ?D̅ = 2000 ?D̅ = 300,
Denote X as the mean cost of renting an apartment in a city. It is given that X is distributed, with mean μ = $2000 and standard deviation σ = $300.
A random sample of 60 apartments are taken.
As the sample size is large (>30), it can be assumed that the mean cost of renting an apartment in a city follows normal distribution with mean μ = $2000 and standard deviation σ = $300.
For this problem let us assume ?¯ is same as X bar.
Let X bar be the mean cost rent for the sample. It is known that,
Therefore, in this situation,
