The average operating life of a popular brand of tablets is know to be 2000 days, with a standard deviation of 150 days. Suppose you want to pick a random sample of 49 tablets from this brand. (a) What is the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample mean X¯ for a sample size of 49? (b) What is the probability that such a sample mean will be within 50 days of the population mean? (c) What is the probability that such a sample mean is less than 1975? (d) What value of the sample mean will only be exceeded 6% of the time?
