(a) What is a sampling distribution, and what are the uses of sampling
distributions?
(b) The average monthly electricity consumption for a sample of 100 families is

horsepower, and that the standard deviation of power delivered is 15

be run a single time). What is the probability that the sample mean X will be
less than 217 horsepower?
