Employees at a hospital take the temperature of every one of its more than 1,000 patients who visit the emergency room. The body temperatures of these patients follow a normal distribution similar to this:
n
36.1
36.8 37.5
Body temperature (degrees Celsius)
Suppose that the hospital takes a random sample of 16 patients and calculates the sample mean temperature
for those patients.
What will be the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean temperature?
