The distribution of this size is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.3 fte. Suppose you take 100 random samples of 36 married women each takes, what is the expected value of the mean of these sample averages?


    1. FALSE: 0.3 fte
    2. FALSE: 0.4 fte
    3. TRUE: 0.7 fte
    4. FALSE: Unpredictable
