Question (1): Check if the following statements are TRUE/ FALSE? (Correct the wrong)
1. The Parameters describe populations, and they’re almost known.
2. To estimate a population mean, we compute the sample mean.
3. The sampling distribution of the mean of a random sample drawn from any
population is approximately normal for a sufficiently large sample size.
4. The smaller the sample size, the more closely the sampling distribution of
will resemble the normal distribution.
5. If X is non-normal, then is approximately not normal for sufficiently large
sample sizes.

Question (2): A sample of 16 observations is drawn from a normal population

with mean 000 and standard deviation . Find the following:
1. ̅
2. ̅

Question (3):
1. Given a normal population whose mean is 50 and whose standard deviation is
10, find the probability that a random sample of
1. 4 has a mean between 49 and 52.
2. 16 has a mean between 49 and 52.

2. The amount of time the university professors devote to their jobs per week is
normally distributed with a mean of 52 hours and a standard deviation of 6 hours.
1. What the probability that a professor works for more than 60 hours per
week?
2. Find the probability that the mean amount of work per week for three
randomly selected professors is more than 60 hours.
