Suppose that you take a sample of size 18 from a population that is not normally
distributed. Can the sampling distribution of xx be approximated by a normal
probability distribution?
No, the sampling distribution of xbar cannot be approximated by a normal probability
distribution because the population is "not normally" distributed and the sample size is
less than 30.
Suppose that you take a sample of size 18 from a population that is not normally
distributed. Can the sampling distribution of xx be approximated by a normal
probability distribution?
No. The population is not normally distributed, therefore, we need a sample size of at

Suppose that you are attempting to estimate the annual income of 1100 families. In
order to use the infinite standard deviation formula, what sample size, n, should you
use?
(n / N )
≤0.05 N =
1100
n ≤ (0.05 x 1100 ) = 55
n ≤ 55
The sample size (n) has to be less than or equal to 55
