There are 120 students at Francis Howell North High School. Mr. Willott conducts a poll that asks 20 randomly selected students how many hours of sleep they got last night. They find that the mean amount of sleep is 6.7 hours. The population standard deviation is σ = 2 hours. Can we estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means by using σ divided by the square root of n (2/sqrt(20) = 0.557 hours)?

Yes, we estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means by using σ divided by the square root of n and this can be determined by finding the mean and standard deviation for the distribution of the sample means.

Given :

There are 120 students at Francis Howell North High School. Mr. Willott conducts a poll that asks 20 randomly selected students how many hours of sleep they got last night.They find that the mean amount of sleep is 6.7 hours.The population standard deviation is σ = 2 hours.

The mean for the distribution of the sample means is given by:

$\mu_x = \mu$

$\mu_x = 6.7$

The standard deviation for the distribution of the sample means is given by:

$\rm \sigma_x = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

$\sigma_x = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{20} }$

$\sigma_x = 0.44721$

Yes, we estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means by using σ divided by the square root of n.

Answer from: joelpimentel

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit theorem says that If a random variable X from a population has mean u and finite variance σ² , then the sampling distribution of the sample mean X~ approaches a normal distribution with mean u and variance σ²/n as the sample size n approaches infinity.

It is interesting to note that we have neither assumed that the distribution of X is continuous nor we have said anything about the shape of the distribution , whereas the limiting distribution of X is continuous and normal. Thus the distribution of the sample means regardless of the shape of the population having a finite variance , is approximately normal with mean u and variance σ²/n .

Therefore

(standard deviation/ √sample size)²= variance / n

2/ √20

= 2/4.472

=0.44721

The sampling distribution of X` is therefore approximately normal with mean ux=u and σx =σ/n

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

Answer from: Quest

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
