Use the Central Limit Theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution. The mean price of photo printers on a website is $228 with a standard deviation of $61. Random samples of size 34 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means ? (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
Solution:
Given: The mean price of photo printers on a website is $228 with a standard deviation of $61.
That is: Mean = and standard deviation =
Sample Size = n = 34
We have to use the Central Limit Theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the sampling distribution.
Since sample size = n = 34 > 30 is large sample, thus using the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means is approximately Normal with mean of sample mean is:
and standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is:
Sketch of the sampling distribution:
Thus we get:
