    For a sample size of n = 5 from a population with a mean μ\mu and standard deviation MM, the distribution of sample means MM follows a normal distribution with mean μ\mu and standard deviation $fracsigmasqrtnfrac{sigma}{sqrt{n}} . . .


    1. FALSE: Regardless of the shape of the distribution of the variable in question.
    2. FALSE: If the sample mean MM and the standard deviation ss are unbiased (unbiased).
    3. FALSE: If the sample is randomly drawn and representative of the population.
    4. TRUE: If the variable of interest in the population is normally distributed.
