Suppose you are taking a random sample, and measuring continuous variable X, from a population in which X is normally distributed. What is the probability that you will get a sample mean greater than the 60th percentile of the original distribution of individuals, i. with a sample size of N=100? ii. with a sample size N=50? iii. with a sample size of N=10? Do any of your answers change if the original distribution is not normal? Explain.
