Question 2   Assume the average weight of an adult male short-hair house cat is 5 kg, and the standard deviation is 0.7 kg (these numbers are reasonable, but there’s quite a lively fight between cat fanciers about the true numbers). (a)  What fraction of samples consisting of 30 adult male short-hair house cats (selected uniformly at random, and with replacement) will have average weight less than 4 kg? (b)  What fraction of samples consisting of 300 adult male short-hair house cats (selected uniformly at random, and with replacement) will have average weight less than 4 kg? (c)  Why are these numbers different?
