Suppose the population distribution of a random variable X is normal; then, for random samples of size n from that population, the shape of the sampling distribution of X̄.
Added by Matthew H.
Step 1
We know that the population distribution of the random variable X is normal. Let's denote the mean of this population as μ and the standard deviation as σ. Show more…

When the population has a normal distribution, the sampling distribution of x̄ is normally distributed for any sample size.

The ____ _____ of the sample mean, $\bar{x},$ is the probability distribution of all possible values of the random variable $\bar{x}$ computed from a sample of size $n$ from a population with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma .$
Sampling Distributions
Distribution of the Sample Mean
when taking random samples of n observations from a population the sampling distribution for X̄ will be approximately normally distributed if: a. the population size is sufficiently large b. n is sufficiently large c. the variance population is sufficiently small d. the population itself is normally distributed e. the variance of sample is sufficiently small
