Suppose that the distance, X, of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 250 feet and a standard deviation of 50 feet. We randomly sample 60 fly balls. What is the value of ? |
Solution :
Given that ,
mean =
= 250
standard deviation =
= 50
n = 60
sample distribution of sample mean is ,

=

= 250
sampling distribution of standard deviation

=
/
n = 50 /
60=6.45

= 6.45
