Physical activity of obese young adults. In a study on the physical activity of young adults, pediatric researchers measured overall physical activity as the total number of registered movements (counts) over a period of time and then computed the number of counts per minute (cpm) for each subject (International Journal of Obesity, January 2007). The study revealed that the overall physical activity of obese young adults has a mean of μ = 320 cpm and a standard deviation of σ = 100 cpm. (In comparison, the mean for young adults of normal weight is 540 cpm.) In a random sample of n = 100 obese young adults, consider the sample mean counts per minute, .

a. Describe the sampling distribution of . b. What is the probability that the mean overall physical activity level of the sample is between 300 and 310 cpm? c. What is the probability that the mean overall physical activity level of the sample is greater than 360 cpm?
