Using the Central Limit Theorem, it is found that the correct option is:
- B) The random sample of 15 meerkats should be close to 5.2 years-old.
The Central Limit Theorem states that taking a sample of size n for a population of mean [tex]\mu[/tex], the sample means are going to be close to [tex]\mu[/tex].
- The larger the value of n, the closer the sample mean should be to [tex]\mu[/tex]
In the context of this problem, the sample mean should be close to 5.2 years old, and the correct option is B.
