(b) Explain the consequences of depa

    Sample Distribution and Variance

    If many samples of size 100 (that is, each sample consists of 100 items) were taken from a large non-normal population with a mean of 10 and variance of 16, what would be the mean, variance, standard deviation and shape of the distribution of sample means? Note: Variance is the square of the standard deviation.
