Suppose x has a distribution with μ = 84 and σ = 18. a) If random samples of size n = 16 are selected, can we say anything about the x distribution of sample means? Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μ x = 84 and σ x = 1.1. No, the sample size is too small. Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μ x = 84 and σ x = 18. Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μ x = 84 and σ x = 4.5. (b) If the original x distribution is normal, can we say anything about the x distribution of random samples of size 16? Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μ x = 84 and σ x = 4.5. Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μ x = 84 and σ x = 18. Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μ x = 84 and σ x = 1.1. No, the sample size is too small. Find P(80 ≤ x ≤ 85). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Suppose x has a distribution with μ = 88 and σ = 8. (a) If random samples of size n = 16 are selected, can we say anything about the x distribution of sample means? Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μx = 88 and σx = 2. (b) If the original x distribution is normal, can we say anything about the x distribution of random samples of size 16? Yes, the x distribution is normal with mean μx = 88 and σx = 2. Find P(84 ≤ x ≤ 89). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

A simple random sample of size n = 38 is obtained from a population with μ = 66 and σ = 16. (a) What must be true regarding the distribution of the population in order to use the normal model to compute probabilities involving the sample mean? Assuming that this condition is true, describe the sampling distribution of x̄. (b) Assuming the normal model can be used, determine P(x̄ < 69.4). (c) Assuming the normal model can be used, determine P(x̄ ≥ 67.1). (a) What must be true regarding the distribution of the population? A. The sampling distribution must be assumed to be normal. B. The population must be normally distributed. C. Since the sample size is large enough, the population distribution does not need to be normal. D. The population must be normally distributed and the sample size must be large. Assuming the normal model can be used, describe the sampling distribution x̄. Choose the correct answer below. A. Approximately normal, with μ_x̄ = 66 and σ_x̄ = 38 / √16 B. Approximately normal, with μ_x̄ = 66 and σ_x̄ = 16 / √38 C. Approximately normal, with μ_x̄ = 66 and σ_x̄ = 16 (b) P(x̄ < 69.4) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) P(x̄ ≥ 67.1) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
