Question

1. Feature movie lengths (in hours) were measured for all movies shown in the past year in the U.S. The mean length of all feature length movies shown was 1.80 hours with a standard deviation of 0.15 hours. Suppose the length of a random sample of 20 movies was recorded from all movies released this year. The mean length of the feature length movies was found to be 1.72 hours with a standard deviation of 0.18 hours.

Suppose we were to make a histogram of the feature length movie times of all movies in the past year. The histogram would be a display of which of the following?

Select one:

a. distribution of a sample

b. Normal distribution

c. population distribution

d. sampling distribution of means

Suppose the process of taking random samples of size 20 is repeated 200 times and a histogram of the 200 sample means is created. The histogram would be a display of which of the following?

Select one:

a. Normal distribution

b. distribution of a sample

c. population distribution

d. sampling distribution of means
