Suppose a random sample of size 34 is obtained from a population with population mean 30 and population standard deviation 4. What is the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample average?

Answer:

The standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample average is 0.6860.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation, also called standard error [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\sigma = 4[/tex]

What is the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample average?

This is s when n = 34. So

[tex]s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{34}} = 0.6860[/tex]

The standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample average is 0.6860.

Answer:

Standard error = 0.686

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of size 34 is obtained from a population with population mean 30 and population standard deviation 4, i.e.;

[tex]\mu[/tex] = 30 ,  [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 4 and n = 34

Standard error formula is given by = [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

where, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 4

            n = sample size = 34

So, standard error = [tex]\frac{4}{\sqrt{34} }[/tex] = 0.686 .
