Answer to Problem 23UYK

Solution: The sampling distribution x¯ has an average of 5 with standard deviation 2.04.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation: According to the central limit theorem, when a large sample n is selected from a population, with population average μ and standard deviation σ, the sampling distribution x¯ will be approximately normal. Mean of the sampling distribution x¯ can be calculated as follows:

μx¯=μ=5

Standard deviation of the sampling distribution x¯ with n=2 can be calculated as follows:

σx¯=σn=2.892=2.04

Answer to Problem 23UYK

Solution: The sample size should be 25.

Explanation of Solution

It can be seen in the above parts that curves are approximately normally distributed. According to the central limit theorem, as sample size increases, the shape of the curve moves near to the normal curve. So, the larger sample size is suitable for the use of central limit theorem. Hence, for the provided distribution sample size suitable for the use of central limit theorem is 25.
