For parts (b) through (d), consider a simple random sample (SRS) of 35 students who took the test.
(b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean score x¯, of 35 students?
The mean of the sampling distribution for x¯ is:
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for x¯ is:
