Let x stand for the percentage of an individual student's math test score. 64 students were sampled at a time. The population mean is 78 percent and the population standard deviation is 14 percent. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\sigma_x= 1.75\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 64[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 78\%[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 14\%[/tex]

Required

The sample standard deviation

This is calculated as:

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

This gives:

[tex]\sigma_x= \frac{14\%}{\sqrt {64}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_x= \frac{14\%}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_x= 1.75\%[/tex]
