According to the central limit theorem, the mean of the sampling distribution of means, The mean of the average number of moths in 50 traps is E(x-bar) = µ = 0.6 (Ans.) According to the central limit theorem, the standard error of the mean SE(x-bar) = σ/ √ n = 1/ √ 50 = 0.141 (Ans.) The probability (±0.01) that the average number of moths in 50 traps is greater than 0.7 X-bar =0.7 Z = (x-bar - µ)/ σ/ √ n = (0.7-0.6) / 0.141 = 0.709 P (X-bar>0.7) P (Z=.709) = 0.2852 So
