3. (c) 2007 IUPUI SPEA K300 (4392) Normal Probability Distribution A continuous, symmetric, bell-shaped distribution of a random variable Defined by a mean µ and variance σ 2, x~N(µ, σ 2 ) Mean=median=mode Ranges from -∞ to +∞ (positive infinity) No P(x) is zero; the normal curve never touches the x axis.

26. (c) 2007 IUPUI SPEA K300 (4392) Distribution of Sample Means A sample distribution of sample means is a distribution using the means computed from all possible random samples of a specific size taken from a population Sample error is the difference between the sample measure and the corresponding population measure due to the fact that the sample is not a perfect representation of the population

27. (c) 2007 IUPUI SPEA K300 (4392) Properties of the Distribution of Sample Means The mean of the sample means will be the same as the population mean. The standard deviation of the sample means will be smaller than the standard deviation of the population, and it will be equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.

28. (c) 2007 IUPUI SPEA K300 (4392) Central Limit Theorem As the sample size n increases without limit, the shape of the distribution of the sample means taken with replacement from a population with mean µ and standard deviation σ will approach a normal distribution. This distribution will have a mean µ and a standard deviation σ/sqrt(n)
