The standard normal distribution allows the calculation of confidence intervals for means for small samples when the population variance is not known, regardless of the shape of the distribution in the population. True or false?
Lottie A.
True or False: The mean and standard deviation of the distribution of $\bar{x}$ is $\mu_{x}=\mu$ and $\sigma_{x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},$ respectively, even if the population is not normal.
Sampling Distributions
Distribution of the Sample Mean
The standard deviation of X (standard error of the sample mean) equals the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, or, se(K) = equivalently: True False
