A variable of a population has a mean of and a standard deviation of
a. If the variable is normally distributed, identify the sampling distribution of the sample mean for samples of size
b. Can you answer part (a) if the distribution of the variable under consideration is unknown? Explain your answer.
c. Can you answer part (a) if the distribution of the variable under consideration is unknown but the sample size is instead of ?

Early-Onset Dementia. Dementia is the loss of intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. In the article "Living with Early Onset Dementia: Exploring the Experience and Developing Evidence-Based Guidelines for Practice" (Al=hcimer's Care Quarterly, Vol. 5, Issue 2, pp. 111-122), P. Harris and J. Keady explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. If the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is 55 years, find the probability that a random sample of such people will have a mean age at diagnosis less than years. Assume that the population standard deviation is years. State any assumptions that you are making in solving this problem.
Although, in general, you cannot know the sampling distribution of the sample mean exactly, by what distribution can you often approximate it?
Does the sample size have an effect on the mean of all possible sample mean? Explain your answer.
Testing for Content Accuracy. A brand of water-softener salt comes in packages marked "net weight ." The company that packages the salt claims that the bags contain an average of of salt and that the standard deviation of the weights is Assume that the weights are normally distributed.
a. Obtain the probability that the weight of one randomly selected bag of water-softener salt will be or less, if the company's claim is true.
b. Determine the probability that the mean weight of 10 randomly selected bags of water-softener salt will be or less, if the company's claim is true.
c. If you bought one bag of water-softener salt and it weighed , would you consider this evidence that the company's claim is incorrect? Explain your answer.
d. If you bought bags of water-softener salt and their mean weight was , would you consider this evidence that the company's claim is incorrect? Explain your answer.
