It is known that the length of time that people wait for a city bus to arrive is right skewed with mean 6 minutes and standard deviation 4 minutes. A sample of 25 wait times is randomly selected. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample wait times

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample wait times is of 0.8 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30. Otherwise, the mean and the standard deviations holds, but the distribution will not be approximately normal.

Standard deviation 4 minutes.

This means that

A sample of 25 wait times is randomly selected.

This means that

What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample wait times?

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample wait times is of 0.8 minutes.

length - 2

step-by-step explanation:

we need to use the pythagorean theorem

hope this !
