The population of current statistics students has ages with mean μ and standard deviation σ. Samples of statistics students are randomly selected so that there are exactly 49 students in each sample. For each sample, the mean age is computed. What does the central limit theorem tell us about the distribution of those mean ages?
Because n>30, the sampling distribution of the mean ages can be approximated by a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ/(49)^1/2. (The central limit theory applies whenever n>30. Because n>30, the sampling distribution of the mean ages can be approximated by a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ/(n)^1/2).

One of the tallest living men has a height of 242 cm. One of the tallest living women is 227 cm tall. Heights of men have a mean of 179 cm and a standard deviation of 6 cm. Heights of women have a mean of 166 cm and a standard deviation of 5 cm. Relative to the population of the same gender, who is taller? Explain.
The woman is relatively taller because the z score for her height is greater than the z score for the man's height.

Weight lost on diet: 95% confidence, n=61, x=2.0 kg, s=4.3 kg a. What is the confidence interval for the population mean μ? b. Is the confidence interval affected by the fact that the data appear to be from a population that is not normally distributed?
a. 0.9 kg< μ <3.1 kg (STAT--> T Stats--> One Sample) b. No, because the sample size is large enough.
