The amount of money collected by a snack bar at a large university has been recorded daily for the past five years. records indicate that the mean daily amount collected is $3650 and the standard deviation is $600. the distribution is skewed to the right due to several high volume days (including football game days). suppose that 100 days were randomly selected from the five years and the average amount collected from those days was recorded. describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent " the amount of money collected by a snack bar at a large university "

No matter if the distribution for the random variable X is skewed to the right. If we assume that the sample size is large (n ≥ 30) and on this case makes sense since they record info from the past 5 years, the central limit theorem  guarantees that is approximately normal.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

And for this case the distribution would be:

probably the last option

answer: input the dimensions of the room to be painted. click the button to calculate the amount of paint and man-hours needed for this job.

interior paint coverage depends on the brand of paint used. the coverage amount is listed on the label of the paint can. use this to adjust the values in the paint coverage section below. paint usually is applied at 350 to 400 square feet per gallon (primer at 200 to 300 square feet per gallon).
