Math Problem Statement
The diameter of a brand of tennis balls is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 2.75 inches and a standard deviation of 0.05 inch. A random sample of 12 tennis balls is selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. What is the sampling distribution of the mean?
A. Because the population diameter of tennis balls is approximately normally distributed, the sampling distribution of samples of size 12 will not be approximately normal. B. Because the population diameter of tennis balls is approximately normally distributed, the sampling distribution of samples of size 12 cannot be found. C. Because the population diameter of tennis balls is approximately normally distributed, the sampling distribution of samples of size 12 will be the uniform distribution. D. Because the population diameter of tennis balls is approximately normally distributed, the sampling distribution of samples of size 12 will also be approximately normal. Part 2 b. What is the probability that the sample mean is less than 2.74 inches? P(Upper X overbarless than2.74)equals enter your response here (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Part 3 c. What is the probability that the sample mean is between 2.73 and 2.77 inches? P(2.73less thanUpper X overbarless than2.77)equals enter your response here (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Part 4 d. The probability is 65% that the sample mean will be between what two values symmetrically distributed around the population mean? The lower bound is enter your response here inches. The upper bound is enter your response here inches. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
