The number of violent crimes committed in a day possesses a distribution with a mean of 4.2 crimes per day and a standard deviation of 6 crimes per day. a random sample of 100 days was observed, and the mean number of crimes for the sample was calculated. describe the sampling ditribution of the sample mean.

a. approximately normal with mean=4.2 and standard deviation =0.6

b. approximately normal with mean = 4.2 and standard deviation =6

c. shape unknown with mean= 4.2 and standard deviation =6

d. shape unknown with mean= 4.2 and standard deviation =0.6

a) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the number of crimes on the day. each is a random varible with mean 4.2 and standard deviation 6, and all are identically distributed and independent. Since the standard deviation is 6, then the variance is 36. Summing identiaclly distributed and independent random variables will make the mean and variance add up. Lets call the sum of 100 of this random varaibles, then we have

The sample mean of this 100 random variables is obtained by dividing by 100. When we multiply/divide a random variable by a number , then its mean is multiplied/divided by and its variance is multiplied/divided by . In this case, we are dividing by 100, so the mean will be 4.2 and the variance is divided by 100² = 10000, hence, its value will be 0.36. As a result, the standard deviation of the mean sample will be the square root of 0.36, which is 0.6.

We also know, as a consecuence of the Central Limit Theorem, that the mean sample of independant, identically distributed random variables, has distribution approximately normal if the sample is big enough (100 is more than enough) . So, we conclude that

The correct answer is option (a).

I hope that works for you!!

(0,,,0)

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
