A sample of n = 64 scores is selected from a population with μ = 80 and with σ = 24. On average, how much error is expected between the sample mean and the population mean?

Random samples of size $n$ were selected from a nonnormal population with the means and variances. What can be said about the sampling distribution of the sample mean? Find the mean and standard error for this distribution. $$ n=80, \mu=36, \sigma^{2}=6 $$
Sampling Distributions
The Central Limit Theorem and the Sample Mean
A sample is selected from a population with a mean of µ = 40 and a standard deviation of σ = 8. a. If the sample has n = 4 scores, what is the expected value of M and the standard error of M? b. If the sample has n = 16 scores, what is the expected value of M and the standard error of M?

The mean of a random of size $n=64$ is used to estimate the mean of an infinite population having the standard deviation $\sigma=20 .$ What can be asserted about the probability that the error will be less than $5 ?$ a. Using the Chebyshev's Theorem b. Using the Central limit Theorem
