Random samples of size 17 are taken from a population of 200 elements with mean 36 and standard deviation 8. Which statement best describes the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
Correct answer D. None of these alternatives is correct
Explanation
With n = 17 the central limit theorem does not apply and the population's shape is not stated, so none of the claims of normality can be justified.
