swimmer can swim a distance of 36 kilometer in the direction of water current in the same time ,which he requires to swim 36 kilometer in the opposite direction of water current in stream if in stil water swimmer has speed of 12 kilometer per hour more than the speed of that of water in stream then what is the speed of water?

(a) The variance decreases.

(b) The variance increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and we take appropriately huge random samples (n ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the sample mean is given by,

And the standard deviation of the sample mean is given by,

The standard deviation of sample mean is inversely proportional to the sample size, n.

So, if n increases then the standard deviation will decrease and vice-versa.

(a)

The sample size is increased from 64 to 196.

As mentioned above, if the sample size is increased then the standard deviation will decrease.

So, on increasing the value of n from 64 to 196, the standard deviation of the sample mean will decrease.

The standard deviation of the sample mean for n = 64 is:

The standard deviation of the sample mean for n = 196 is:

The standard deviation of the sample mean decreased from 0.7 to 0.4 when n is increased from 64 to 196.

Hence, the variance also decreases.

(b)

If the sample size is decreased then the standard deviation will increase.

So, on decreasing the value of n from 784 to 49, the standard deviation of the sample mean will increase.

The standard deviation of the sample mean for n = 784 is:

The standard deviation of the sample mean for n = 49 is:

The standard deviation of the sample mean increased from 0.2 to 0.8 when n is decreased from 784 to 49.

Hence, the variance also increases.
