The mean of the sampling distribution of sample means is 72, and the standard deviation is approximately 1.908.
Solución
To find the mean and standard deviation of a sampling distribution of sample means, we can use the following formulas:
1. Mean of the sampling distribution of sample means: \( \mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu \)
2. Standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means: \( \sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \)
Given:
- Population mean: \( \mu = 72 \)
- Population standard deviation: \( \sigma = 29 \)
- Sample size: \( n = 231 \)
1. Mean of the sampling distribution of sample means:
\( \mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 72 \)
2. Standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means:
\( \sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{29}{\sqrt{231}} \)
Now, we can calculate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
\(\frac{29}{\sqrt{231}}\)
- step1: Multiply by the Conjugate:
\(\frac{29\sqrt{231}}{\sqrt{231}\times \sqrt{231}}\)
- step2: Multiply the numbers:
\(\frac{29\sqrt{231}}{231}\)
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is approximately 1.90806.

To find the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means, it's simply equal to the population mean. So, \( F_{5} = 72 \). Now for the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (also known as the standard error), you can use the formula: \[ \sigma_{x} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \] Plugging in the values we have: \[ \sigma_{x} = \frac{29}{\sqrt{231}} \approx \frac{29}{15.198} \approx 1.912 \] Rounding to three decimal places gives: \(\sigma_{x} \approx 1.912\).
