The level of cholesterol in the blood for all men aged 20 to 34 follows a Normal

Question:

The level of cholesterol in the blood for all men aged 20 to 34 follows a Normal distribution with mean μM =188  305 0.200 20.0% uM 188 1526 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) and standard deviation σM = 41  mg/dl. For 14-year-old boys, blood cholesterol levels follow a Normal distribution with mean μB=170  mg/dl and standard deviation σB=30  mg/dl. Suppose we select independent SRSs of 25 men aged 20 to 34 and 36 boys aged 14 and calculate the sample mean cholesterol levels x¯M and x¯B .

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of x¯M−x¯B  ? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
