The living spaces of all homes in a city have a mean of square feet and a standard deviation of square feet. Let be the mean living space for a random sample of homes selected from this city. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of . Enter an exact answer. mean of square feet Find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of . Round your answer to one decimal place. standard deviation of square feet

Answer:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}) [/tex]

The mean for this case is given by:

[tex] \mu_{\bar X} = 2300.0[/tex]

And the deviation would be:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{500}{\sqrt{25}}= 100.0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the following problem info since is incomplete the data: "The living spaces of all homes in a city have a mean of 2300 square feet and a standard deviation of 500 square feet. Let x be the mean living space for a random sample of 25 homes selected from this city.  Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x."

We know the following info given:

[tex]\mu = 2300[/tex] represent the mean for tehe living spaces of all homes in a city

[tex]\sigma = 500[/tex] represent the population deviation for the data

We select a sample size of n=25 so then this size is large enough in order to use the central limit theorem and we can use for the distribution of the sampel mean:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}) [/tex]

The mean for this case is given by:

[tex] \mu_{\bar X} = 2300.0[/tex]

And the deviation would be:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{500}{\sqrt{25}}= 100.0[/tex]
