Question

Assume that the average amount spent per month for long-distance calls through the long-distance carrier is $38.25, and that the standard deviation is $11.75. If a sample of 100 customers is selected, the mean amount spent per month for long-distance calls of this sample belongs to a sampling distribution.

16. What is the shape of this sampling distribution? Why?

ANSWER:

17. What is the mean of this sampling distribution?

ANSWER:

18. What is the standard deviation of this sampling distribution?

ANSWER:

Explanation / Answer

16)

shape of sampling distribution is bell shaped , since this is a normal distribution

17)

mean = 38.25

18)

standard deviation = 11.75/sqrt(100) = 1.175
