The 2015 American Time Use survey contains data on how many minutes of sleep per night each of 10,900 survey participants estimated they get. The times follow the Normal distribution with mean 529.9 minutes and standard deviation 135.6 minutes. An SRS of 100 of the participants has a mean time of ?¯=514.4 minutes. A second SRS of size 100 has mean ?¯=539.3 minutes. After many SRSs, the values of the sample mean ?¯ follow the Normal distribution with mean 529.9 minutes and standard deviation 13.56 minutes.
