Fluorescent light bulbs have lifetimes that follow a normal distribution, with an average life of 1,685 days and a standard deviation of 1,356 hours. In the production process the manufacturer draws random samples of 197 light bulbs and determines the mean lifetime of the sample. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of this sample mean?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3,238

Step-by-step explanation:

1,685+1,356+197=3,238

Using the Central Limit Theorem, it is found that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of this sample mean is of 96.6 hours.

The Central Limit Theorem states that for a sample of size n, from a population of standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is given by:

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, we have that: [tex]\sigma = 1356, n = 197[/tex]

Then

[tex]s = \frac{1356}{\sqrt{197}} = 96.6[/tex]

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of this sample mean is of 96.6 hours.
