Question

Scores on the Critical Reading part of the SAT exam in a recent year were roughly Normal with mean 496 and standard deviation 115. You choose an SRS of 100 students and average their SAT reading scores. If you do this many times, the mean of the average scores will be close to:_______. A. 115.
B. 115 / square root of 100 = 1.15.
C. 115 / square of 100 = 11.5.

Answer 1

Answer:

496

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that there are options lacking. The average score, due to the Law Of Big Numbers, using a big enough sample will be close to the mean of the random variable. Thus the mean of the average scores will be close to 496 if the process is done many times.
