If, for a random sample of 16 days, the sample mean ends up being exactly one standard deviation of x above the population mean, what is the sample mean for those 16 days?

    The answer to the question is

    μx + (σx/4)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sample mean that is one standard deviations above the population mean is given by

    value = μx + (Number of standard deviations)

    (σx/√n)

    value = μx + 1 (σx/√16) =

    = μx + (σx/4) =

    Where

    μx = Population mean

    σx = Population standard deviation

    n = Sample size

    The standard error of the mean is

    σ/√n = σ/√16 = σ/4

    The standard of error is an indication of the expected error in the mean of a sample from the mean of the population.

    The above statements is based on the central limit theorem, which states that, in particular instances the normalized sum of independent random variables becomes closer and closer to those of normal distribution regardless of the variation in the sample of the variables
