Suppose you choose a random sample of size 25 from a large population of tax returns. If the population mean and population standard deviation of the adjusted gross income for these returns are, respectively, $60,000 and $20,000, which of the following is true of the distribution of the sample mean?

Respuesta :

The option d) is true for the following distribution.

Given options are

a. Its mean and standard deviation are $60,000 and $20,000, respectively, but only if the population distribution is normal.

b. Its mean and standard deviation are $60,000 and $4,000, respectively, but only if the population distribution is normal.

c. Its mean and standard deviation are $60,000 and $20,000, respectively, regardless of whether the population distribution is normal or not.

d. Its mean and standard deviation are $60,000 and $4,000, respectively, regardless of whether the population distribution is normal or not.

Normal distributions are symmetric and bell-shaped and have same mean, median, and mode.Most members of a normally distributed population have values close to the mean—in a normal population, 96% of the members are within 2 standard deviations of the mean (much better than Chebyshev's 75%).

In any normally distributed population, the proportion of members between the mean and one standard deviation below the mean is the same.

here, the standard deviation for 25 samples cannot be $20000. It should be less than that.

Thus, regardless of whether the population distribution is normal or not, the mean and standard deviation are $60,000 and $4,000, respectively.
