Question: (a) A random sample of size 144 is taken from the local population of grade-school children. Each child estimates the number of hours per week spent watching TV. At this point, what can be said about the sampling distribution?

(b) Assume that a standard deviation, \(\sigma \) , of 8 hours describes the TV estimates for the local population of schoolchildren. At this point, what can be said about the sampling distribution?

(c) Assume that a mean, \(\mu \) , of 21 hours describes the TV estimates for the local population of schoolchildren. Now what can be said about the sam pling distribution?

(d) Roughly speaking, the sample means in the sampling distribution should deviate, on average, about ___ hours from the mean of the sampling distribution and from the mean of the population.

(e) About 95 percent of the sample means in this sampling distribution should be between ___ hours and ___ hours.
