Chapter 8, Problem 26P

Use the following information to answer the next 14 exercises: The mean age for all Foothill College students for a recent Fall term was 33.2. The population standard deviation has been pretty consistent at 15. Suppose that twenty-five Winter students were randomly selected. The mean age for the sample was 30.4. We are interested in the true mean age for Winter

Foothill College students. Let X = the age of a Winter Foothill College student

In words, define the random variable $\tilde{X}$ .
