Q. 2 The random variable X has mean 372 and standard deviation 54 .(i) Describe fully the distribution of the mean of a random sample of 36 values of X.
Identify Mean of X: Step 1: Identify the mean of the random variable X. The mean (μ) of X is given as 372.
Identify Standard Deviation: Step 2: Identify the standard deviation of the random variable X. The standard deviation (σ) of X is given as 54.
Calculate Sample Standard Deviation: Step 3: Calculate the standard deviation of the mean of the sample.Since the sample size n is 36, the standard deviation of the sample mean σmean is calculated using the formula:σmean=nσσmean=3654σmean=654σmean=9
Describe Sample Mean Distribution: Step 4: Describe the distribution of the sample mean. The distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed (by the Central Limit Theorem) with mean μ=372 and standard deviation σmean=9.
