Answer:
The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is 0.5 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.
You begin by collecting the heights of a random sample of 196 people from the city.
This means that [tex]n = 196[/tex]
The standard deviation of the heights in your sample is 7 inches.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 7[/tex]
The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is
[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{196}} = 0.5[/tex]
The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is 0.5 inches.
