Chapter 7 - Section 7.3 - Shape of the Sampling Distribution of x - Exercises - Page 289: 7.26

Answer

$\mu$= 48,127 dollars, σ = 9200,n = 25, 100 When n=25 $\mu$ = $\mu$ _${\bar{x}}$= 48,127 σ_${\bar{x}\ }$ = $\frac{σ}{\sqrt n}$ = $\frac{9200}{\sqrt 25 }$ = 1840 When n=100 $\mu$ = $\mu$ _${\bar{x}}$= 48,127 σ_${\bar{x}\ }$ = $\frac{σ}{\sqrt n}$ = $\frac{9200}{\sqrt 100 }$ = 920 The sampling distribution of $\bar{x}\ $ when n=100 is approximately normally distributed compared to the sampling distribution when n=25.
