Answer:

3.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a normal distribution :

Average weight = population mean = 172 pounds

Population standard deviation = 29 pounds

Number of samples selected(n) = 64

The standard deviation of the sample also called the standard error is the proportion of the population standard deviation to the square root of the number samples.

Sample standard deviation :

Population standard deviation /√n

= 29 /√64

= 29 / 8

= 3.625
