    Question

    Suppose that in a population a stochastic variable d is normally distributed with mean 20 and standard deviation 16. We draw from this population a sample of size n = 4. Then the sample mean


    1. FALSE: Mean ~ N(μ = 5 , σ = 4)
    2. FALSE: Mean ~ N(μ = 20 , σ = 4)
    3. TRUE: Mean ~ N(μ = 20 , σ = 8)
    4. FALSE: Mean ~ N(μ = 20 , σ = 16)

    1. Mean ~ N(μ = 5 , σ = 4): Incorrect
    2. Mean ~ N(μ = 20 , σ = 4): Incorrect
    3. Mean ~ N(μ = 20 , σ = 8): Correct
    4. Mean ~ N(μ = 20 , σ = 16): Incorrect
