Identify the distribution of the sample mean. In particular, state whether the distribution of x is normal or approximately normal and give its mean and standard deviation.
10) The weights of people in a certain population are normally distributed with a mean of 152 lb and a standard deviation of 25 lb. Determine the sampling distribution of the mean for samples of size 5.
A) Approximately normal, mean = 152 lb, standard deviation = 11.18 lb
B) Approximately normal, mean = 152 lb, standard deviation = 5 lb
C) Normal, mean = 152 lb, standard deviation = 25 lb
D) Normal, mean = 152 lb, standard deviation = 11.18 lb Provide an appropriate response.
partB) The amount of rainfall in January in a certain city is normally distributed with a mean of 4.1 inches and a standard deviation of 0.4 inches. Find the value of the 25th percentile, rounded to the nearest tenth.
A) 3.8
B) 4.4
C) 3.9
D) 1.0
Use a table or technology to answer the question.
partC) Find the probability that a z-score will be more than .
A) 0.0701
B) 0.0107
C) 0.0487
