(a) If X is the sample mean diameter for a random sample of n= 20 rings, what is the mean of X, and what is the standard deviation of the X distribution? Round your answer to two decimal places. (b) Answer the questions posed in part (a) for a sample size of n= 80 rings. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. (c) For which of the two random samples, the one from part (a) or the one from part (b), is X more likely to be within 0.01cm of 15 cm? Explain your reasoning.
