The average college lecture hall (auditorium) can seat 60 students with a standard deviation of 21. Assume that a total of 60 lecture halls are selected for a sample. What is the standard deviation for the sample mean?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sample mean is  [tex]\sigma _ {\= x } = 2.711[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  [tex]\= x = 60[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 21[/tex]

     The sample size is [tex]n = 60[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation of the sample mean is mathematically represented as  

               [tex]\sigma _ {\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

               [tex]\sigma _ {\= x } = \frac{ 21 }{\sqrt{60} }[/tex]

               [tex]\sigma _ {\= x } = 2.711[/tex]
