Expert Solution
Step 1

The question is about sampling dist.

Given :

Popl. mean length of adults males' hands ( μ ) = 189 mm

Popl. std. deviation of length of hands ( σ ) = 7 mm

Randomly selected males ( n ) = 8

 

To find :

a ) dist. of x¯

b ) Prob. that avg. length of hand is less than 190 mm

c ) first quartile for the avg. hand length

d ) Is assumption of normal necessary for part ( b )
