Question:

For two years, one of the authors asked his students how long they slept the previous night. He now has 255 results with a mean of 7.12 hours and a standard deviation of 1.59 hours. This distribution of sleep times is fairly symmetric. We will call these 255 sleep times a population and then take many, many random samples of 10 sleep times from this population. From this, we create a distribution of the sample means from all the resulting samples. We should expect the standard deviation of this distribution of sample means to be approximately which of A–E? 

A. 0.10 

B. 0.50 

C. 1.59 

D. 2.25 

E. 7.12
