Independent random samples of 64 observations each are chosen from two normal populations with the following means

Question:

Independent random samples of 64 observations each are chosen from two normal populations with the following means and standard deviations:
Population 1 _______________ Population 2
μ1 = 12 ............................... μ2 = 10
σ1 = 4 ................................. σ2 = 3
Let x̅1 and x̅2 denote the two sample means.
a. Give the mean and standard deviation of the sampling of x̅1.
b. Give the mean and standard deviation of the sampling of x̅2.
c. Suppose you were to calculate the difference between the sample means (x̅1 - x̅2). Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling of (x̅1 - x̅2).
d. Will the statistic (x̅1 - x̅2) be normally distributed? Explain.
Distribution
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
