The Central Limit Theorem for Sample Means (Averages) · Exercise 15
The distribution of income in some economically developing countries is considered wedge shaped (many very poor people, very few middle income people, and even fewer wealthy people). Suppose we pick a country with a wedge-shaped distribution. Let the average salary be $2,000 per year with a standard deviation of $8,000. We randomly survey 1,000 residents of that country.
(a) In words, Χ = _____________.
(b) In words, = _____________.
(c) ~ _____(_____, _____)
(d) How is it possible for the standard deviation to be greater than the average?
(e) Why is it more likely that the average salary of the 1,000 residents will be from $2,000 to $2,100 than from $2,100 to $2,200?
