Information from the American Institute of Insurance indicates the mean amount of life insurance per household in the United States is $110,000. This distribution follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of $40,000.
a. If we select a random sample of 50 households, what is the standard error of the mean?
Standard deviation =s= $40,000
sample size=n= 50
sx=standard error of mean=s/square root of n= $5,657 = ( 40000 /square root of 50)
Answer: standard error of the mean= $5,657
b. What is the expected shape of the distribution of the sample?
Expected shape is normal distribution as sample size is large
