GPAs A college’s data about the incoming first years indicate that the mean of their high school GPAs was 3.4, with a standard deviation of 0.35; the distribution was roughly mound-shaped and only slightly skewed. The students are randomly assigned to first-year writing seminars in groups of 25. What might the mean GPA of one of these seminar groups be? Describe the appropriate sampling distribution model—

shape, center, and spread—with attention to assumptions and conditions. Make a sketch using the 68–95–99.7 Rule.
