The distribution for weights of 100, 25 -pound lifting weight will follow the uniform distribution because the weights are equally likely. Thus, the uniform distribution of the lowest 2400 pounds and the highest 2600 pounds weight is given as:

$X-\mathrm{U}(\mathrm{a},\mathrm{b})$

$X-\mathrm{U}(2400,2600)$

The mean of the uniform distribution is given as:

${\mathrm{μ}}_x=\frac{a+b}{2}$

$=\frac{2400+2600}{2}$

=2500

And the standard deviation is given as:

${\mathrm{σ}}_x=\sqrt{\frac{(b-a{)}^2}{12}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{(2600-2400{)}^2}{12}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{40000}{12}}$

=57.735

The distribution of mean weight of 100,25 -pounds is given as follow:

$\stackrel{¯}{X}~N\left({\mathrm{μ}}_X,{\mathrm{σ}}_X/\sqrt{n}\right)$

$\stackrel{¯}{X}~N(2500,57.735/\sqrt{100})$

$X~N(2500,5.7735)$
