Skewed left as the distribution of the variable in the


The average number of books read annually by teenagers is 25.6 with a standard deviation of 0.9. The distribution of the number of books read annually by teenagers is left skewed. In a recent survey carried out in the local high school, the average number of books read by the 35 teenagers who answered the survey was 28.3, with a standard deviation of 1.1. The measured sample mean (28.3) is one of the possible sample means in samples of size 35. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of these sample means (from samples of size 35) would be:

a. Skewed left as the distribution of the variable in the population.

b. N(25.6,0.9/sqrt(35)).

c. N(25.6,0.9).

d. N(28.3,1.1).

e. N(28.3,0.9/sqrt(35)).

f. N(28.3,1.1/sqrt(35)).
