Lifespans of male mice have a mean of 860 days and standard deviation of 40 days. The distribution is slightly left skewed. Sample mean lifespan for a sample of 64 mice has what mean and standard deviation of days?
By the central limit theorem, the distribution of sample mean will be approximately normal with:
Mean days = Population mean = 860 days
Standard deviation =
= 40/8
= 5 days
