In a manufacturing process, a machine produces bolts that have an average length of 5 inches with a variance of .08. If we randomly select five bolts from this process, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] \bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

And replacing:

[tex] \mu_{\bar X}= 5[/tex]

And the deviation:

[tex] \sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.283}{\sqrt{5}}= 0.126[/tex]

And the distribution is given:

[tex] \bar X \sim N(\mu= 0.08, \sigma= 0.126)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given :

[tex] \mu= 5. \sigma^2 =0.08[/tex]

And the deviation would be [tex] \sigma = \sqrt{0.08}= 0.283[/tex]

For this case we select a sample size of n = 5 and the distirbution for the sample mean would be:

[tex] \bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

And replacing:

[tex] \mu_{\bar X}= 5[/tex]

And the deviation:

[tex] \sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.283}{\sqrt{5}}= 0.126[/tex]

And the distribution is given:

[tex] \bar X \sim N(\mu= 0.08, \sigma= 0.126)[/tex]
