Question:

Scores on the Critical Reading part of the SAT exam in a recent year were roughly Normal with mean 495 and standard deviation 118 .

You choose an SRS of 100 students and average their SAT Critical Reading scores. If you do this many times, the standard deviation of the average scores you get will be close to

a. 118

b. 118/100=1.18

c. 118/√100= 11.8

d. cannot be determined

The standard deviation of the sample would be  

The correct option is (c)

Therefore, the standard deviation of the average scores you get will be close to 11.8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,  

The population mean SAT critical reading score is

The population standard deviation is

You choose an SRS of 100 students and average their SAT Critical Reading score.

Since the sample size is quite large then according to the central limit theorem,

The mean sample will be the same as the population mean  SAT critical reading score.

The standard deviation of the sample would be  

The correct option is (c)

Therefore, the standard deviation of the average scores you get will be close to 11.8
