1. A bottling company uses a machine to fill the bottles with olive oil. These bottles are
designed to contain 475 millilitres (ml). In fact, the contents vary according to a normal
distribution with a mean of 473 ml and standard deviation of 3 ml. A) What is the distribution, mean, and standard error of the sample mean of six randomly
selected bottles?

Respuesta :

Using the Central Limit Theorem, it is found that the distribution of the sample mean of six randomly selected bottles is approximately normal, with mean 473 ml and standard error of 1.22 ml.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

In this problem, for the population, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 473, \sigma = 3[/tex]

Then, for the sample of n = 6:

[tex]s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{6}} = 1.22[/tex]
