Question:

A random variable s measures the daily balances in customers’ savings accounts. It is normally distributed, with a mean of μs – $108 and a standard deviation of $15.

(a) If a random sample of size n = 4 is drawn, what is the probability that the s4 value exceeds $116?

(b) If a random sample of size n = 16 is drawn, what is the probability that the sl6 value exceeds $116?

(c) What happened to the standard deviation of S̅ when the sample size increased from n = 4 to n = 16?

(d) What happened to the probability of observing S̅ ≥ $116 as the sample size increased from n = 4 to n = 16?
