Random samples of size 81 are taken from an infinite population whose mean and standard deviation are 200 and 18, respectively. The distribution of the population is unknown. The mean and the standard error of the distribution of the sample mean are

Answer: The mean and the standard error of the distribution of the sample mean are 200 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sample size : n= 81

Mean of infinite population : [tex]\mu=200[/tex]

We know that the mean of the distribution of the sample mean is same as the mean of the population.

i.e. [tex]\mu_x=\mu=200[/tex]

The standard error of the distribution of the sample mean is given by :-

[tex]S.E.=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ S.E.=\dfrac{18}{\sqrt{81}}=\dfrac{18}{9}=2[/tex]

Hence, the mean and the standard error of the distribution of the sample mean are 200 and 2.
