A random sample is selected from a population with mean $\mu = 98$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 10$. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the $\bar{x}$ sampling distribution for each of the following sample sizes. (Round the answers to three decimal places.) (a) $n = 11$ $\mu =$ $\sigma =$ (b) $n = 17$ $\mu =$ $\sigma =$ (c) $n = 40$ $\mu =$ $\sigma =$ (d) $n = 70$ $\mu =$ $\sigma =$ (e) $n = 560$ $\mu =$ $\sigma =$ (f) $n = 140$ $\mu =$ $\sigma =

Suppose that we will take a random sample of size n from a population having mean μ and standard deviation σ. For each of the following situations, find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean x̄. (a) μ = 12, σ = 5, n = 28 (Round your answers of "σ_x̄" and "σ_x̄^2" to 4 decimal places.) (b) μ = 539, σ = 4, n = 96 (Round your answers of "σ_x̄" and "σ_x̄^2" to 4 decimal places.) (c) μ = 7, σ = 1.0, n = 7 (Round your answers of "σ_x̄" and "σ_x̄^2" to 4 decimal places.) (d) μ = 118, σ = 4, n = 1,530 (Round your answers of "σ_x̄" and "σ_x̄^2" to 4 decimal places.)

Suppose that we will take a random sample of size $n$ from a population having mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. For each of the following situations, find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean $\bar{x}$ : a $\mu=10, \quad \sigma=2, \quad n=25$ $\mathbf{b} \quad \mu=500, \quad \sigma=.5, \quad n=100$ c $\mu=3, \quad \sigma=.1, \quad n=4$ $\mathbf{d} \quad \mu=100, \quad \sigma=1, \quad n=1,600$

Suppose that we will take a random sample of size n from a population having mean μ and standard deviation σ. For each of the following situations, find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean: (a) μ = 19, σ = 6, n = 47 (Round your answers of "σ" and "σ^2" to 4 decimal places.) (b) μ = 488, σ = 0.3, n = 147 (Round your answers of "σ" and "σ^2" to 4 decimal places.) (c) μ = 7, σ = 1.0, n = 5 (Round your answers of "σ" and "σ^2" to 4 decimal places.) (d) μ = 143, σ = 6, n = 1,378 (Round your answers of "σ" and "σ^2" to 4 decimal places.)
