Suppose that a study of elementary school students reports that the mean age at which children begin reading is 5.9 years with a standard deviation of 0.9 years. Step 1 of 2 : If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the ages at which 69 children begin reading, what would be the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means

5.9 years.

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean and standard deviation

In this question:

Mean of the population is

If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the ages at which 69 children begin reading, what would be the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means?

By the Central Limit Theorem, the same population mean, of 5.9 years.
