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.

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.
