5. Your sample of 20 people is being compared to a known population with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 5. The shape of the distribution is normal. a. The comparison distribution must be a distribution of means. What is the mean of the comparison distribution? b. What is the standard deviation of the comparison distribution (, what is the standard deviation of the distribution of means)? You'll have to first compute the variance of the distribution of means. C. Does the distribution of means have a normal distribution? How do you know?

Given that the mean of the known population is 100, the mean of the comparison distribution is also 100. ** Show more…

A random sample of size n = 25 is obtained from a normally distributed population with population mean μ =200 and variance σ^2 = 100. a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the sample means? b) What is the probability that the sample mean is greater than 203? c) What is the value of the sample variance such that 5% of the sample variances would be less than this value? d) What is the value of the sample variance such that 5% of the sample variances would be greater than this value?
