    Question

    Suppose that in a population d is normally distributed with mean 63 and standard deviation 14. We draw from this population a sample of size n = 5. Then for the sample mean


    1. FALSE: Mean ~ N(μ = 12.6, σ = 2.8)
    2. FALSE: Mean ~ N(μ = 63, σ = 2.8)
    3. TRUE: Mean ~ N(μ = 63, σ = 6.26)
    4. FALSE: Mean ~ N(μ = 12.6, σ = 39.2)

    1. Mean ~ N(μ = 12.6, σ = 2.8): Incorrect
    2. Mean ~ N(μ = 63, σ = 2.8): Incorrect
    3. Mean ~ N(μ = 63, σ = 6.26): Correct
    4. Mean ~ N(μ = 12.6, σ = 39.2): Incorrect
