    i did this problem but i think i did some thing wrong. can you point out the mistake and how to draw it?

    no-1 page-311

    μ=128
    σ=16
    a. when n=9 then sd(xi)=16*√9=48, E[x]=9*128=1152
    b when n=25 then sd(xi)=16*√25=80, E[x]=25*128=3200
    c. when n=100 then sd(xi)=16*√100=160 E[x]=100*128=12800
    a.124< X >132
    124-1152132-1152
    -10028/48< (X-1152)/48>-1020/48
    -21.42-21.25
    =normdist(-21.25)-=normdist(-21.42)
    b..124132
    124-3200132-3200
    -3068/80<(X-3200)/80>-3068/80
    -38.45-38.35
    =normdist(-38.35)-=normdist(-38.45)
    c.

    Main problem is that you are using the wrong formula. For the std dev of the sample mean, you need to divide by the sqrt(n) and not multiply.
