Question
Chapter 12, Problem 25PT4
To determine
To identify: The correct statements among a, b, c, and d given below given that the weight distribution of a certain type of pigs is skewed to the right with a
- It will be
normally distributed with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation of 80 pounds. - It will be normally distributed with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation of 80 pounds.
- It will be approximately normally distributed with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation of 80 pounds.
- It will be approximately normally distributed with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation of 8 pounds.
- There is no enough information to determine the mean and standard deviation of sampling distribution.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 25PT4
(a) Correct option is (d) It will be approximately normally distributed with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation of 8 pounds.
Explanation of Solution
As per the central limit theorem, the distribution of any sample mean tends to normal distribution with a mean of µ and standard deviation 
when population has a mean of µ and standard deviation of σ as
- The distribution of weight of pigs is right skewed and hence we can say that sample mean tends to normal distribution with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation
=8 .Hence we can say that sample mean will be approximately normally distributed with a mean of 280 pounds and standard deviation of 8 pounds.
