The weights of bunches of bananas in the grocery store are Normally distributed with a mean weight of 3.54 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.64 pounds. A random sample of four bunches is taken and the mean weight is recorded.

Answer

0.16
B
0.32
C
0.64
D

Explanation

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a sample mean is the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. Here, 0.64 ÷ √4 = 0.64 ÷ 2 = 0.32 pounds, so the correct choice is 0.32.
