The batteries produced in a manufacturing plant have a mean time to failure of 30 months with a standard deviation of 2 months. I select a simple random sample of 400 batteries produced in the manufacturing plant. I test each and record how long it takes for each battery to fail. I then compute the average of all the failure times. The sampling distribution of is approximately:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution is approximately normal, with mean 30 and standard deviation 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean and standard deviation

The batteries produced in a manufacturing plant have a mean time to failure of 30 months with a standard deviation of 2 months.

This means that

Sample of 400 batteries. The sampling distribution of is approximately:

So

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution is approximately normal, with mean 30 and standard deviation 0.1.
