Answer:
a) 471.5 kilo-watt hours.
b) 31.76 kilo-watt hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For the population:
Mean 471.5 kilo-watt hours.
Standard deviation of 187.9 kilowatt-hours.
For the sample:
Sample size of 35, by the Central Limit Theorem:
a) Mean
471.5 kilo-watt hours.
b) Standard deviation
[tex]s = \frac{187.9}{\sqrt{35}} = 31.76[/tex]
31.76 kilo-watt hours
